Connectivity Add-on: Port Management

We’ve made some awesome improvements to port management:

• You can now edit the port name template when adding new ports from the Information -> Network Ports page.
• The port name template is also editable when adding new ports from the Layout page of network devices and patch panels.
• We’ve made it easier to update port names in bulk from the Information -> Network Ports page, so you can align them with your internal or manufacturer port naming conventions.
• Plus, you can now delete ports in bulk from the Layout page of network devices and patch panels.
