Displays parent information about the container.

Use the column information to show an indented view of all parents of the sample. This displays where the sample is currently stored. If there are multiple trackable instances for a single sample, more than one storage hierarchy might exist (one for each instance).

As is the case for any metacontainer ID that appears anywhere within the system, the ID of each metacontainer in the storage hierarchy brings up the context menu for that metacontainer.

• If the container is disposed, the column displays "Yes."
• If the container is not disposed, the column displays "No."
• The column displays "Partial" if some of the metacontainers for the sample are disposed and some are not disposed.
