Customizing the default view in /hardware

[ghost]

Expected Behavior (or desired behavior if a feature request)

Customizing the default view:
What I want is very simple: When a user loggs-in into Snipe-IT and goes to /hardware, I want a different view there, and being still there, if the cookies are deleted.

---

Actual Behavior

As and Admin, I can't customize the default view in /hardware.

I don't understand what you mean by custom view. Can you explain, and/or provide mockups?

[ghost]

I'd like the Id field to be already checked by default and would like to move my 1 custom field set, which consists of 4 new fields, to the left, next to the Id field, because those 4 new fields are located at the right-hand side, far away from the first Id field.
I also would like to uncheck an already by default existing and by default checked field Einkaufspreis, because the 1 custom field set contains a similar field. But Einkaufspreis isn't used because that newly added custom field set contains a fieldname that is used somewhere else and so for also naming conventions reasons, Einkaufspreis is not used, but a custom price field name. What also would work I guess is if Einkaufspreis could be renamed and added to the 1 custom field set, I tried, but didn't find anything. So I'd be ok with unchecking Einkaufspreis and not using it.

[EarlRamirez]

@passboltUser are you referring to

or actually moving the columns from left to right?

[snipe]

Selected columns are saved via cookie. There is currently no way to reorder columns. (We've tried to use the JS library that would permit that, but a bug in the library conflicts with other libraries already in use.)

[ghost]

@EarlRamirez Yes, I'm referring to the picture you attached (where I want certain checkmarks to be checked by default and certain columns be on different positions by default if an user loggs in without any cookies i.e. not relying on settings being saved in cookies).

I’d be willing to look at a PR for this, but I have to be honest and say this is definitely not on our development roadmap right now.

[ghost]

Thanks for info. Then I guess this can be staled by the bot, may someone else reply if interested.

We'd also need this feature. Thanks!

Just installed Snipe IT and I would really like to reorder columns. There is certain data that I think goes better together and I'd like to have it more to the left and be able to just control the column order.

[TrishF81]

Our team just discovered Snipe IT, and we would really love the ability to move the columns around. We have our assets displayed in a way that works for our team in Excel, and would like it to be the same in Snipe IT.

[captainlinky]

We would also like this feature implemented. It would greatly improve the products functionality.

[ChrissGuthrie]

This would be very helpful, since my custom fields -- the fields most important to me-- are far off to the right and I have to scroll to the bottom and all the way across each line to access them.

[Prodeguerriero]

One-upping this one as well. Being able to define organize columns and save a "default" layout that applies everywhere would be very nice.

Also support customizing default visibility of columns and rearranging them. Should be saved as a user preference.

maybe an idea with https://bootstrap-table.com/docs/extensions/reorder-columns/

maybe an idea with https://bootstrap-table.com/docs/extensions/reorder-columns/

Once again, as we stated elsewhere, the last time we checked with that specific library, it directly conflicted with other libraries we were using.

Have these conflicts been reported to the developers?

recently it seems like the cookie is not saved anymore on my system? so literally everytime I switch from asset to license or any other page I have to re-check and un-check all the boxes I need...
reproduced this behaviour in edge, firefox and brave browser.

[snipe]

@Mi3czy - This has been fixed in 5.4.2, per the release notes.

To the OP, it’s unlikely that storing column preferences in the database (aka not in cookies) is going to make the short term roadmap any time soon.

[gertz22]

HI in our company also, looking for reorder feature. Like manufactorer and model..

[Tyree]

Absolutely, 100% agree this is a must-have. The order of the columns make no sense. Why can't the sorting in the custom fieldset be used in the column ordering??? Why is this a cookie-dependent feature? How is the fieldset order stored? Couldn't the same data be used for the column order?

[hpham93]

+1 for this feature

[Mikes-Git]

+1 on reorder columns, would be really important to us!

[davisrael]

+1 - especially since adjusting a large list of column's visibility currently seems broken (= not stored). Additionally, upon completion, nginx bails out with a
"header or cookie size too large". Deleting cookies is the only way of solving this.
Did anyone maybe have a look at the cookie structure - some manual tweaks that could pre-set a column visibility status?
Best :)

[SGLurker]

Great software! Love it!
Workaround for me is to edit /app/Presenters/AssetPresenter.php
Amend the fields that you want to "uncheck" during the initial loading of the page.
Change "visible" => true, to "visible" => false
When the page load, the layout will be based on all "visible = true" fields.

You can switch to localStorage in your env for BS_TABLE_STORAGE for remembering the columns that are shown there. That will persist in the browser beyond cookie deletion. https://snipe-it.readme.io/docs/configuration#optional-session-settings

We do not have any plans on implementing a database-backed version of that at this time.

[carlyle9]

I am interested in the reordering of columns, that option doesn't appear to be supported for any configuration at this time.

[snipe]

As discussed in other GH issues, the javascript library we use has a bug in the re-ordering extension which causes conflicts with the other table features. If they ever get that fixed, we'll add it.

[nickMLB]

Could you share a link to this issue of the javascript library? Maybe we could upvote or +1 is as well?

[TieuBao1606]

Hello everyone, I am a new user with the same desire as you.

During the search process, I tried to find a way to change the order of the fields in the AssetPresenter.php file ( /var/www/html/app/Presenters/)

Result: I have changed the positions that I expected. However, with only one person, I cannot evaluate all the possible errors, can you try and give me some advice?
P/s: You should backup the AssetPresenter.php file before making any changes so that you can Rollback it back to its original state
