To complete the configuration of a new storage unit, or to add compartments to an existing storage unit, navigate to the Inventory Browser within Inventory. Select a storage unit or compartment within a storage unit using the navigation tree. Click the Add Compartment and select the template to be used to create the new compartment.
The compartment name field will provide a default name based on the storage unit's configuration settings, which can be edited according to the user's preferences. Click the Add Multiple Compartments tickbox to create compartments in bulk from the selected compartment type template.
When adding multiple compartments, users can define the following settings:
Number of compartments – the number of compartments to be created within the selected storage unit
Compartment numbering – the incremental identifier that should be appended to the compartments' names (Note: this will default to the setting specified during storage unit configuration)
Note: new compartment types can be selected from the Add new compartment type button below the Add new compartment dropdown. Users can also create custom compartments using this feature
Click the Add Compartment button to add the compartment to the storage unit.
Note: Each compartment or storage area has the capacity to accommodate a maximum of 200 sub-compartments per layer, such as drawers or sample containers.
