Set "Child entities" for Inventory/Computers

I need to set "Child entities" for Inventory/Computers, to enable the global use of computer inventory regardless of entity.

GLPI version: 0.84.8

Quote from duplicate #25738

Is there a way to set the Inventory/Computers to Child Entity= "Yes" ?

I can change a Child entity setting for Inventory/Printers

What I wanted to do is to populate our Inventory (Computers / Monitor / Printers) under our Main Entity.  I have 3 sub Entities under our Main, and I want all the sub entities to be able to have access to the Inventory items (ex. use Items and associate to trouble Tickets).

Main
   |   - - - >  (Inventory - Computers / Monitors / Printers )
   |
   |
   |----------Sub Entity 1 (Service Provider)
   |                       (Inventory - access to Main)
   |
   |----------Sub Entity 2 (Supplier - Equip Vendor)
   |                       (Inventory - access to Main)
   |
   |----------Sub Entity 3 (Client - Head Office)
   |                       (Inventory - access to Main)

Thanks

Thanks in advance!

Re: Set "Child entities" for Inventory/Computers

If your items are under Main entity, your sub entity can't see them.
You must put all your items in one a your sub-entity and with a recursive profile you'll can see all your items from Main entity

Re: Set "Child entities" for Inventory/Computers

Thanks for your answer!

However, the use case I can't satisfy with recursive profiles is to be able to assign a Computer to a ticket, regardless the ticket entity. Setting computer as recursive on Main entity, I could assign it to a ticket in Sub Entity 1, 2 or 3.

Is there any way to accomplish this?

R U sure?

I've see all main entities for which child entities are enabled. but not vice versa as described.
