Device Notes Tab

Currently, my team tends to attach small important notes for devices (firewalls, servers, switches, etc.) in the Description box.

These notes might indicate if the device is supposed to be decommed soon, which vault the device's credentials are stored in, if the device is fully managed, who/manages owns the device, who deployed the device, or various other things.

The description box is not designed for this. So, there are obviously many issues with it. No accountability, no formatting, no separation, etc.

Could we please request a feature where each device in LM has its own proper "Notes" tab?


Notes could be time-stamped, author-stamped, edited, or deleted.

Examples:

"Device is scheduled to be decommissioned in 2 months.     -User123 4/30/2025 18:00:00UTC"

"Device is not managed. No creds available. Alert client in event of issues.     -User567 4/05/2025 03:00:00UTC"

"Power Supply replaced on 2/10/2024.     -User567 2/10/2024 10:00:00UTC"

Below shows where a note has been added to the Description Box for this device, indicating the PSUs were reseated on 4/30/2025. If there were a Notes tab, this snippet could be put there instead. Anyone seeing that device afterward would see that User123 made that note today at 2pm. Someone could add an additional note a few months later indicating those PSUs have been replaced, while removing the old note. 


If there is already a feature similar to this (or one in the works), please let me know.
