Modifying All the Specimens in a Container
LDMS has a feature for changing the condition and specimen comments, and assigning the never store property to all specimens in a storage item at once. This feature can be useful if something happened to all of the specimens in a storage container. For example, if a freezer failed, you could use this feature to change the condition code for all of the specimens to thawed.
To access this feature in the Storage Management
task, find the storage item in the Storage
Structure on the left side of the screen, then right-click on the container and select
. Due to the large
amount of data this feature can modify at once, using the bulk update feature requires a challenge password
from LDMS User Support.
