Nested location support

[DanSheps]

Use case

Currently, we have our datacenter racks laid out in locations by:

• Floor
• Room
• Row
• (Optional) Functional Group

Unfortunately, you cannot include devices in nested locations within the "Room" plan (Rack in Row 1, Infrastructure for example cannot be included in the "Room drawing").

Proposal

There are two options to solve this problem, one or the other method could be used:

1. Allow devices from the location including all child locations
2. Allow placement of child drawings

Based on the proposed solutions, which one do you prefer and why??

Sorry forr not getting back.

Personally, I would prefe both, but that might not be feasible. If I were to choose one, it would be the first (allow child location inclusion).

Also open to both but from a time perspective please implement a tab maybe with sub location objects to select from. this seems the easiest to implement of the two options. for me we define room and rows as child nested locations and this would allow me to move forward using the plugin.

Many thanks for your efforts.
