Bug fixes/cosmetic changes

  • Switch port template name limit bumped to 255 characters (from 32)
  • Vertical PDU display on physical connection page is now fixed.
  • Device GET API by serial # now accepts case insensitive serial #.
  • Devices GET API call has new filters for serial #, asset # and name.
  • Adding purchase records from device (or other) pages was not recording the dates correctly. This is now fixed.
