Certainly. You can nest arbitrary levels of the "non-terminal" storage types, i.e. the storage that can't directly contain samples like shelves and racks; you can also name them however suits your storage system and add labels to guide users.

For example, to configure your example, you could put 3 "Racks" within each Rack, then name the nested ones "Partition01", etc. Then you can use the "Label" field for each partition to include the name of the project and researcher. Add as many plates as each partition needs (only one shown in the image for simplicity). Then when users are navigating the freezer system to find or store samples, they will see the details you included. The attached image shows your example in practice.

Learn more about configuring freezers in the Sample Manager documentation here.
