Location Tree
The location tree control allows navigation of the
Location hierarchy. Click on the +/- symbols to
expand/contract location folders. Click on the
location name to display its contents in the
container list frame.
Desktop/
Workgroup
Right-click on a location to display a
context menu of Location commands.
NOTE: The Inventory Enterprise dialog box (shown)
above contains a field for defining plate types. Plate types
are not currently supported in the Pro/Ultra or
Workgroup versions.
Creating a New Location
To add a new location:
1. Click the New Location link or command on
the Manage menu.
The Create New Location form appears.
2. Enter the parent location (the folder that is one
level up from your new folder). If you pointed
to the parent folder before opening the dialog
box, the correct location will be entered
automatically. You may use the Browse button
for one-click entry of the correct location.
3. Enter the remaining information. Location
Name is the only required field. Inventory will
fill in the Location barcode field automatically
unless you enter your own value. (In either
case, it will assign an internal location ID
number.)
4. When you have finished entering data, click
OK.
The new location appears in the tree under the
parent, in alphabetical order.
Editing a Location
After a location is created, its properties may
change. For example, when a particular laboratory
was initially set up, a number of containers were
placed on a shelf. As the laboratory grew, it was
necessary to move the containers to a cabinet. The
