Allow for sub-systems to aid in quoting and grouping. IE: "Audio - Speakers" or "Audio - Amplifiers" both under "Audio"

v19

This is also great for creating and printing product/labor/package catalogs. We have had to repurpose the locations feature to create systems (parent location) and devices (sub location). Using the descriptions field we added short sales description and included 4 different packages/prices for each device.

Yes please!

This would make life so much easier - Please make this happen.

It seems like the same nested architecture as applies to locations could apply to systems?

I only just tested this feature in a demo with our team today, and had always assumed systems and locations were similar under the hood. Surprise!

I agree, nowadays more AV integrators are also doing more IT systems as well. As an integrator we do AV, IT and Security systems. It would be nice if we can organize order Dtools projects a bit better by having sub-systems. For me is it more and less a no brainer

Sander van Gaal: especially with the new PoE feature! I honestly thinh Seth could turn that into a general network and low voltage design tool.

Sander van Gaal

Duncan Idaho: Not sure what the latest update on the PoE feature is. Happy to see it will be made! This will be a great step forward.

Sander van Gaal: All I have heard is its more than just a "is poe" field. I'd love to see whatever comes about be turned into a full network toolset since networking is such a huge part of what we do now.
