Location
An Inventory Location represents a physical location
where one or more Containers may be stored.
Locations can be nested within other locations to
produce a hierarchy. The location hierarchy is
represented as nested folders on a tree control
analogous to that found in the Windows file
explorer. Following is an example of a typical
location tree:
Substance
An Inventory Substance represents a single pure
chemical entity which can be expressed as a two
dimensional chemical structure drawing. The
system maintains its own internal chemical
structure database containing unique substances
that can be associated with Inventory Containers.
Highly advanced duplicate checking is incorporated
into the system. Only a single Substance may be
associated with each Inventory Container. Aside
from structure and name, substances can be
identified via unique registry numbers such as CAS
or ACX ID. Custom fields may also be defined.
For information on defining mixtures as
substances, see “Mixtures” on page 54.
If Inventory is integrated with the Registration
System and/or ChemACX, substances found in
either system can also be associated with an
Inventory container.
Container
An Inventory Container represents a physical
container capable of storing chemical substances.
While a Container may physically contain a
complex mixture of chemical substances, Inventory
is ideally suited for the assignment of a single
(primary) chemical substance to each Container.
Additional text fields are available to track other
chemical contents such as the solvent, or other
(secondary) chemical substances associated with
the Container. Typical containers include: bottle,
vial, tube, cylinder, box, etc...
Logging in
All versions of Inventory use a password based
login. The login screen is slightly different in the
Pro/Ultra and Enterprise versions, but the
procedure is standard. Logging in to Inventory
Enterprise brings you to the ChemOffice
Enterprise homepage.
Click the Browse link under Inventory Manager to
view the Inventory database.
NOTE: Administrative tasks relating to login, such as
adding users and changing passwords, are covered in other
sections. For Enterprise versions, see “Manage Users and
Roles” on page 167. For Pro/Ultra and Workgroup
versions, see “Managing Users and Roles” on page 78.
