Feature Request: Templates added to top of active list

[eloyd]

When you add a template to a host or service via the Nagios XI GUI, it gets adds to the bottom of the list of active templates for that host/service. However, things at the top of the list take priority over things lower on the list. Which means that the list is generated backwards from the way most people think (add most generic thing first, most specific thing last).

Would it be possible to make it so that when you add something to the list of active templates, it gets added to the top? I think this is how most people expect the behavior to be, and have to rethink how they add things, or else spend extra time moving them around after adding them.

Hi @eloyd,

Would a second button Add Selected ^ or something like that work? (I am open to suggestions)

Add Selected ^

Add Selected v

Another feature I think we should add is dragging. That way you can just drag templates into the desired order.

Dragging would be cool, regardless of what else is implemented. Perhaps an "Add to Top" or "Add to Bottom" button, instead of just "Add."

Hi @eloyd,

Your enhancement request will be noted in the Changelog as [GL:XI#1939]. It will have to go through the change management process, so I can't give you a timeline.
