Direct link from Site to Elevations

[candlerb]

Environment

• Python version: 3.5.2
• NetBox version: 2.5.12

Proposed Functionality

On the Site detail page (/dcim/sites/foo/), include a link to the elevations for that site (/dcim/rack-elevations/?site=foo)

I suggest this belongs near the "Images" pane.

Use Case

At the moment, to see elevations for a given site, you first have to navigate to Racks > Elevations, then apply a filter for the site. Even if you've already navigated to the relevant Site (which is easy from a device), you have to search for the site again.

Elevations are the chief visualization provided by Netbox, and I think it should be easier to navigate to them.

@candlerb If you create Rack Groups with your Racks and go to the Site you will see this ones:

If you click on the Button (marked yellow) you will return to the Rack Elevations with URL-Parameters /dcim/rack-elevations/?group_id=3.

If this would be accepted and implemented i prefer the Link for the Rack Elevations on the Sites Template as an own "Panel" with URL Link like /dcim/rack-elevations/?sites_id=XXX

Edit: The filtering-URL from Rack Elevations after use the Filtering Options would be /dcim/rack-elevations/?q=&site=xxx

I've looked at this for a while and I honestly can't find a good place to put a link. Doesn't make sense to put it inside the rack groups panel.

Under the details for a site, why not just add another tab between "Site" and "Change Log" called "Elevations" and let it take the user to the elevations for the site and if they need to drill down further, they can filter as needed (Rack group, etc)

I snuck an "all racks" entry into the rack groups table.
