The position assignment option at the container level helps users choose the strategy for specimen allocation when storing the samples, whether horizontal or vertical, top to down/ down to the top, left to right/right to left, etc.
The system does not rearrange the specimens within the box on updating the container position assignment. For example, if a specimen is stored at position 2 ('Horizontal to vertical top-down, left to right' current assignment) and user changes the allocation strategy to 'Horizontal, bottom-up, left to right,' then the position label changes to 92 (10x10 box), and the specimen is not moved to position 2 at the bottom.
The assignment will affect the allocation strategy of future samples only. To change the positions of the existing samples in the box, follow the steps mentioned below:
Steps:
