This topic describes how to view and audit
Storage Activity of samples in the Freezer Management system, including adding and removing samples from storage as well as check-in and check-out actions.
Having an efficient way to keep track of where you have been working, or where others might be storing similar materials can help administrators make informed choices about where to store new samples.
Your Activity
From the main menu, click
Storage Activity under
Your Items, or select
Storage Activity from the user menu in the header.
The grid of actions can be
sorted, filtered, and searched as with any other grid.
- Click a Sample Id to see the details for a sample.
- Click a storage Status ("In" or "Out") to jump directly to the Storage View of the location for that sample, whether it is currently checked in or out.
- Note that the Status column is always updated to the current status of the sample, not the status at the time of the activity in this grid. In the screen image above, samples that were "discarded from storage" still have the current status of "In" because they were re-added to storage later, perhaps in a different location.
You'll also see a subset of your most recent storage activity on the
main Freezer Management dashboard.
Stored Items
From the
Storage Activity page, click the
Stored Items tab to see a grid of all items in storage throughout the system.
Scroll to see additional columns, including information about who completed the various storage activities listed.
You can also reach this page by clicking the number of
Total samples checked out by all users in the
Sample Activity panel at the top of the Freezer dashboard, in which case you will see it filtered to show only those samples that are currently checked out. Clear the filter to see all stored items.
Sample Timeline: Storage Activity
Like other events that happen for an individual sample, storage events will be included on the
Sample Timeline, including adding samples to storage, checking in and out, updating storage data, moving the storage unit that contains the sample, and discarding from storage.
In the case of moving a storage unit from one location to another, the event details for all samples contained in that storage unit will give you a full 'breadcrumb' path to both the old and new locations of the individual sample.
Audit Log: Freezer Management Events
Freezer management events are logged in the application's
Audit Log. From the details pages for a freezer, select
> View Audit History to open the audit log filtered to that specific freezer.
