The whole "old documentation" should certainly be removed

Yes, of course, but I don't want to delete anything until I'm sure that all the information has been transferred elsewhere.

The alternate username is a field returned by the inventory. It is filled in by the user who opened the session on the machine concerned.
This field can be updated if, during the next inventory, another user logs on to the machine.It takes the form ``user@machine_name``. This field can be changed manually,
but it will be locked (by default) to prevent it being updated at a later date. See the article on :doc:`locks`

Group in charge creation is the same as group creation. We should only document what changes for "in charge".


Once the group has been created, you can add another or select it from the drop-down list.

.. Note:: If you cant another option with groups, see :doc:`../administration/groups`

I do not understand the sentence


You can add location manually or dynamically.

Not only for locations. I guess this should be a more generic warning,


.. warning:: Depending on your needs, pay attention to the entity you are in and its recursivity, so that it is visible or not to other entities.

.. Note:: All locations your created here are available for other GLPI objects depending on the entity in which you created it

Maybe I'm wrong, but inventory will create automatically locations even if there are no rules. Rules will more affect location.
To me, the "manually" and "automatically" differences is not correct here.


To add a location **automatically** :

You need to create **location rules** to affect a location to a computer. Before, you need to define the criteria which will trigger the rule (a tag inventory, a subnet, a domain, etc.)

Maybe a better place would be with other rules in admin module (with a link to it here).

Globally, all fields can be locked. I guess it would be better to have a lock § somewhere, rather than explain lock on each related field.

~~~~~~

The status provides information about the state of the machine.
By default, there is no status. You can create as many statuses as you like, which can be used by rules.

I wonder if it's usefull. By default, GLPI provide no dropdown content (and if it does for few ones, maysbe it's better to just document those ones).

Maybe 'gitbook" stuff should be done in another PR
