Storage items can be moved to a different location or rearranged in their current
location.
About this task
Any storage item can be moved to another location in LDMS. Moving a storage item
will require you to specify its position in its new location. If you move a storage
item from its current location to its current location, you will be given the
opportunity to rearrange its contents.
Procedure
-
Click from the LDMS menu bar.
Alternatively, you may use a barcode scanner to select the samples to be
moved.
-
Click Move this item from the action menu.
The Move Selected to Storage Container window will
open.
-
From the list of storage containers, click the Select
button to the right of the location where the selected item(s) should be moved
to. The amount of free space is listed next to each container.
The storage items selected must be moved to the same destination. You cannot
move two storage items at once that cannot occupy the same location. For
example, you cannot select to move a specimen and a level at the same
time.
The Select Positions window will open.
-
For each item being moved, select a position in the destination.
If you want to automatically place the items being moved into the destination,
select a position and then select the Auto-fill all from selected
position option. This will cause all remaining storage items to
be placed into the destination based on the destination’s fill order.
Note: If samples are moved to a container that will not hold all selected
samples, the remaining samples will remain selected to be moved to a
different container.
