Adding and removing Freezers

Creating named freezers, as well as adding levels and containers to a freezer, is done on the Main View tab in LDMS Storage . You must create the freezer configuration on the Freezer Cfg tab before adding the freezer.

Creating a new freezer in storage

  1. On the Main View tab, click the button from the LDMS toolbar.

  2. You will be prompted to select the type of item you want to add. Select FREEZER.

  3. Select the freezer configuration that you want to use. You must have already created the freezer configuration on the Freezer Cfg tab.

  4. Enter a name for your freezer. This is for ease-of-use and can be changed later. It is okay to use a group name as part of a freezer name, if that's the freezer's primary purpose.

If the configuration used had levels added by default, you'll see those levels were already added to the newly created freezer.

To remove a freezer, select it on the Main View tab, then click the button from the LDMS toolbar. The freezer can contain levels and containers when it is deleted, but it cannot contain specimens; you'll need to remove the specimens from storage or move them to another location.
