A dimensionless container is a container with no fixed size or dimensions. This is useful for creating site-specific temporary "hold" freezers or automated freezers.

1. Go to the containers list page, click on the ‘Create’ button
2. Enter all necessary details, select option 'Yes' for the field ‘Dimensionless?’ and click on the ‘Create’ button

Create dimensionless containers via CSV import

You can create the dimensionless container in bulk through bulk operation. Refer ‘Create/Update Storage containers’ for more details.

Creating sized containers under dimensionless containers (new in v4.3)

You can also create a dimensionless freezer with normal racks, shelves, or boxes. This is useful for creating temporary hold freezers where you store boxes for pickup.

1. Go to create a container page
2. Select the dimensionless container from the 'Parent Container's' dropdown.

       3. Enter all valid values and click on "Create."

Similarly, you can create a dimensionless container under any sized container; select the sized container from the 'Parent Container drop-down.

Associate a dimensionless container with dimensionless container type

 From v10.3 it's possible to associate dimensionless container types with dimensionless containers, so their use can facilitate in auto allocation and reporting. Refer to this wiki page for using these containers for advanced auto allocation.

1. Go to the containers list page.
2. Select the dimensionless container you wish to associate and click on edit
3. 
4. Select the required dimensionless container type in the 'Type Field'
5. 
6. Click on Update
