Block/Unblock Container Positions

Introduction

Storage positions within a box can be blocked so that it is not used for specimen allocation. This is useful if users want to reserve or not use certain positions.

Block positions

To block positions, follow the below steps

  • Go to the specific box.
  • Select the positions to be blocked using the checkboxes on the LHS within the cells of the box.
  •  Click on the 'Block'  tab


During container auto allocation, the system will ignore such blocked positions. Also, when the user manually assigns locations, the system will not allow selecting such blocked positions.

Block all positions

From v5.1, the user can block all the free positions of a box that can store specimens with at least one free position. This is useful if the user wants to reserve the entire box or remain in free positions for later use. Follow below  steps

  • Click on 'Block All.' 

  • All the free accessible positions in the box will be blocked.

Unblock positions

Once the positions are blocked, you can unblock their positions if they want to reuse those positions later. Follow the below steps to unblock the positions

  • Go to the specific box.
  • Select the blocked positions using the checkboxes on the LHS within the box's cells.
  • Click on the 'Unblock' buttons to unblock the selected positions.


Unblock all positions

Once the positions of containers are blocked, you can unblock all the positions at once.

  • Click on the 'Unblock All' tab

  • All th blocked positions are unblocked, and  all the positions are accessible
