Transfer Event
Transfer event created on the container can be viewed from the 'Transfer Events' tab on the left-hand side.
If there are specimens stored inside such a box, a transfer event is created for each specimen as well, along with the container transfer event.
Clicking on the 'Container Transfer Event' from the 'Specimen Overview' page displays the details about the transferred container.
