Snipe-it: Create sub-category

[sopheaouk]

Dear Snipe-IT,

I have checked with snipe-IT sales team about a possibility to add a sub-category for an asset. This feature is really useful for many org in term of Asset management.

For an example: I have many network devices , Router --> Cisco and Huawie, Firewall --> Palo Alto, Cisco ASA, Switch --> Dell , Cisco...and so on.

Feature needs sample for Categories and sub categories:

1--Network Devices
1.1--Router
1.1.1--Cisco
1.2--Switch
1.2.1--Cisco --> Model (Cisco 2960, 3550...)
1.3--Firewall

A waiting for a new updates ...

From a Snipe-IT lover...
Best...

Server (please complete the following information):

• Snipe-IT Version 4.9.4
• OS: CentOS]

That's unfortunately a lot less trivial than it would seem at first glance, as we end up with the need to show all assets within a category including all of the subcategories, which are recursive functions and can put a lot of strain on the database. We can take a look at this after v5 is out, but it's not on the short-term roadmap.

Thank for your quick response ...anyway, v5 we are still waiting ...

As I mentioned elsewhere, we're working on an RC for the end of this week, and will hopefully have v5 out mid-Sept.
