Container overview
Under each container, there are four tabs on the left-hand side: Overview, Locations, Specimens and Transfer Events (new in v6.2).
At the top, the name of the container is displayed. Hovering over the 'i' icon displays the entire hierarchy of the container and its position in the parent container(new in v6.2).
To view each container's content, click on the 'Locations' tab under the specific container. This is useful if you want to do re-inventory and to look for empty spaces in each box.
NOTE: There is no map view available for dimensionless containers.
To view more details of the specimen stored in a particular location within the box, click on the cell's specimen. The overview is displayed to the right:
