Description
The Create Metacontainer pop-up allows you to select the metacontainer type and the quantity of that type to create. Once a type and quantity are selected, the Create button is enabled.
Additionally, you can flag the new metacontainers as disposable/non-disposable and transferable/non-transferable.
Note
The Create Metacontainer pop-up no longer allows inactive metacontainer types to be used when creating metacontainers.
Access
TaskCenter > Manage Samples > Sample Management > container ID link > Edit > Create Metacontainer
Note
Creation of new metacontainers is possible through several non-administration pages. This allows non-administration users to be able to create new metacontainers as needed. The ease of creating new metacontainers for non-administration users is important for disposable items, such as shipping bags or virtual racks that are created as they are needed.
Rights will need to be defined for the following:
- Create/Edit Metacontainers
- Edit Disposability of Metacontainers
- Edit Transferability of Metacontainers
Technical Manual
| Metacontainer Type | Select an option from this search-as-you-type field to select the type of metacontainer that should be created. This is a required field. |
|---|---|
| Quantity to Create | Enter a value in this field to specify the number of instances of the selected metacontainer type that should be created. The default value is one. This is a required field. |
| Disposable | Select this checkbox to set the metacontainer as either disposable or non-disposable for all that are created. Note Disposability of metacontainers indicates whether the metacontainer can be marked for disposal on the Dispose Metacontainer Pop-up. If a metacontainer has been marked as non-disposable and needs to be disposed of, it can be edited to be disposable. |
| Transferable | Select this checkbox to set the metacontainer as either transferable or non-transferable for all that are created. |
| Print Labels on Create | Select this checkbox to automatically print labels for all of the new metacontainers when Create is selected. If labels need to be reprinted, or it is preferred to manually print the labels, this can be done on the Edit Metacontainer Pop-up. |
| Create | Select this button to display the Edit Metacontainer Pop-up that will show all new metacontainers that are ready to be edited or to reprint labels. This button is disabled until all required fields have been populated. |
| Close | Select this button to close the pop-up without making any changes. |
