A New Look and Feel | Enhanced Equipment and Storage Unit Management – eLabNext

We are excited to share several updates that give users more control, better organization, and a smoother experience managing laboratory equipment.

Custom Views for Equipment & Storage Units

Users can now toggle between grid view and list view for both Equipment and Storage Units. Whether users prefer a visual overview or a detailed list, the choice is theirs. From both views, users can select items for bulk updates, making it faster to manage equipment at scale. The Equipment and Storage Units configuration page now opens directly to the Equipment List, where users can switch between views.

Enhanced Table Usability

We have introduced a new table component for equipment and storage unit lists, giving users full control over how data is displayed. Resize columns dynamically, reorder them with drag and drop, add or remove columns to show only what matters, and sort data with enhanced sorting options, all directly from within the table.

Shared Views

Just like sample views, equipment views can now be shared with other lab users, keeping everyone aligned on the same data layout. Filters and views are now also available for both Storage Units and Equipment.

Advanced Filters and Saved Filters

We have extended filtering with new advanced options for the equipment list. Beyond Equipment Type and Status, users can now filter by fields such as Managers, Validation Date, and Validation Expiry. Saved Filters have also received an upgrade: when users save a filter, their selected view is saved along with it. Switch between presets and have data and layout repeatable. Filters can be saved, and the selected view is now stored along with the saved filter.

Manage Equipment Types

Users can now add and remove custom equipment types from their group, making it easy to keep their configuration clean and relevant.

Coming Up Next

We continue to extend our equipment management capabilities and integrate them into the labs' workflows. Have suggestions or feedback? Feel free to reach out, we'd love to hear from you.
