Additional Dynamic Device Group Search Criteria for Login Alias and Access StatusOpen
Dynamic Device Group search currently does not support filtering by Telnet/SSH login alias, Private CLI settings alias, or device access status (such as Fully Accessed via CLI or CLI Connection Failed). As a result, administrators cannot easily identify devices using non-standard credentials or connectivity states through dynamic search alone. This enhancement would add these three criteria as selectable options in the Dynamic Device Group search interface. Customers would be able to quickly identify credential mismatches across locations, target devices needing private CLI configuration, and group devices with access issues for operational follow-up without requiring access to the Data Accuracy Resolution table.
Multi-Approver Support for Network Change Requests Based on Device OwnershipOpen
NetBrain's Change Management approval workflow currently supports only a single approver per change request, even when the underlying devices targeted by a Network Intent span multiple locations or organizational groups that each require sign-off from a different responsible person. This limits customers whose device approval requirements are defined per device or per group rather than uniformly across the change. This enhancement would allow either the generation of multiple change requests from a single Network Intent, each routed to the approver responsible for its associated devices, or the ability to request approval from more than one person on a single change request based on a defined device-approval mapping. Supporting flexible, device-aware approval routing would give organizations with distributed ownership stronger governance and reduce manual workarounds when applying the same change across multiple locations with different approvers.
Functional Portal Data View: CSV Export, Sorting, Resizing, and Map SearchOpen
Within the Functional Portal Data View, tables such as MAC and NCT currently cannot be exported to CSV, and existing column resize and sort controls do not function as expected. In addition, devices placed on a large site map cannot be located using a Ctrl+F search, which limits efficient navigation. This enhancement proposes adding CSV export capability for Functional Portal Data View tables, restoring functional column resizing and sorting, and introducing a device search capability for large site maps. These improvements would allow customers to work more efficiently with large data sets and topology views, reducing manual effort when locating devices or extracting table data for offline analysis.
Edit In-Progress Change Management Requests Without RestartingOpen
NetBrain currently does not allow an existing Change Management request to be edited once it has been created; any adjustment requires deleting the request and re-entering it from scratch, which discards the work already completed on that request. This enhancement would allow users to modify an in-progress Change Management request directly, preserving prior configuration and progress rather than requiring a full restart. Supporting in-place edits would reduce rework and save time for teams managing change requests that require adjustments after initial creation.
Automatic Benchmark Command Submission for New Devices in DatasetsOpen
Today, when new devices are added through an ADT rebuild and new Network Intents are created, the commands required to benchmark those devices for Datasets must be submitted manually for each new device, creating ongoing administrative overhead as the network evolves. This enhancement would automatically submit the relevant benchmark commands for newly discovered devices, while still allowing an administrator to manually approve the submitted commands before they take effect. An alert or email notification when new commands are awaiting approval would keep administrators informed without requiring constant manual monitoring. This would make Datasets easier to maintain in environments where the network topology and device inventory change frequently.
Improve Visio Export Compatibility with Third-Party Visio-Format ToolsOpen
NetBrain currently exports maps in a Visio format that fails to open correctly in other applications supporting the Visio file format, such as LibreOffice Draw, OpenOffice Draw, and draw.io. This enhancement proposes reviewing and adjusting the Visio export generation to align with the standard Visio file specification, ensuring broader compatibility across third-party tools. Customers who do not use Microsoft Visio internally rely on alternative Visio-compatible applications, and improved format compatibility would allow them to view and edit exported maps without errors.
Display Unfoldered Dashboards in Shared Dashboards ListOpen
The Shared Dashboards list currently displays only dashboards that have been placed inside a folder, dashboards that exist outside of any folder do not appear in the list at all. This enhancement would update the Shared Dashboards list to display all dashboards, whether or not they are organized into a folder. Customers would benefit from a complete and accurate view of their shared dashboards without needing to create additional folders solely to make existing dashboards visible.
Search and Replace Devices on Maps While Preserving Position and LinksOpen
NetBrain currently provides no way to replace a specific device on a customized map with a different device while automatically preserving that device's position, layout, and existing Layer 2/Layer 3 link connections. Customers with large numbers of customized maps must manually delete the old device and re-create its position and links each time a device is decommissioned and replaced. This enhancement would introduce a search-and-replace capability that lets a user locate a device across one or more maps and substitute it with a new device, carrying over the original position and all associated links. Customers undertaking large-scale hardware transitions, such as replacing firewalls or switches across many sites, would significantly reduce manual map rework and accelerate device lifecycle changes.
Sequencing Option for Error and Status Messages in ADT Intent ResultsOpen
NetBrain currently displays Intent status messages in ADT in the order they are generated, without any option to prioritize error messages ahead of informational ones. When an error occurs, users must scroll through the message list within the status column to locate the message that explains why the result turned red. This enhancement would add a configurable option to sequence messages within the Intent status column so that error messages appear before informational or successful messages. Surfacing error messages first would reduce the time required to diagnose failed intent results, particularly in large automated data tables with many rows.
Dual Approval Requirement for New User Account CreationOpen
NetBrain currently permits a single System Administrator to create a new user account without any secondary review, which leaves organizations unable to enforce separation-of-duties controls over account provisioning. This enhancement would introduce a configurable approval workflow requiring a second System Administrator to review and approve any newly created user account before it becomes active, regardless of the method used to create it. Organizations with strict security audit requirements would benefit from stronger governance over account provisioning, reducing the risk of a single administrator creating unauthorized accounts for themselves or others.
