Feature request: Different layout based on role

[Daniel-Dietz]

Is it possible to create a label layout based on the device role?

@LHBL2003 mentioned in #95 that any number of label layouts for a device, a rack, or similar objects. Not sure if this would include roles.

It is currently not possible to create certain labels for certain roles via the configuration. But what should be possible is that you can show or hide content depending on the role. I'm not in the office at the moment to test this, but the answer from ChatGPT looks like it might work. Give it a try and let me know if it works for you or not.

Conditional Serial Number Display in NetBox QRCode Plugin

Question:

In the Netbox Qrcode plugin you can
For example, you can check whether a serial number is stored for a device. Only if this is available will it be printed on the QR code label.

Can the serial number only be output if the device corresponds to a specific role?

Example:
'text_template': 'Name: {{ obj.name }}{% if obj.serial %}\nSerial: {{ obj.serial }}{% endif %}',

Answer:

Yes, this is possible using conditional logic in the QRCode plugin’s text_template. The plugin uses Jinja2 templating, which allows you to implement conditions easily.

Example:

To display the serial number only if the device has a role with the slug server, use the following template:

'text_template': 'Name: {{ obj.name }}{% if obj.serial and obj.device_role.slug == "server" %}\nSerial: {{ obj.serial }}{% endif %}'

Explanation:
	•	{{ obj.name }} → Prints the device name.
	•	{% if obj.serial and obj.device_role.slug == "server" %} → Ensures that:
	•	a serial number exists, and
	•	the device role has the slug "server".

Multiple Roles:

To include the serial number if the device role is either server or firewall, use:

'text_template': 'Name: {{ obj.name }}{% if obj.serial and obj.device_role.slug in ["server", "firewall"] %}\nSerial: {{ obj.serial }}{% endif %}'

By Role Name (Optional):

If you prefer to check by the role name instead of the slug:

'text_template': 'Name: {{ obj.name }}{% if obj.serial and obj.device_role.name == "Server" %}\nSerial: {{ obj.serial }}{% endif %}'

Feel free to adapt this logic to include other fields or conditions (e.g., site, location, asset tag, etc.).
