The Inventory now supports grouped equipment records. From the In Service tab, select two or more equipment records that share the same category and choose Create Group to consolidate them into a single record that captures every member's nickname, serial numbers, reference IDs, model, manufacturer, cost, location, and dates. The original records are moved to Out of Service, and the new grouped record carries a snapshot of each member within the In-Service folder. This feature is accesible via the 'Bulk Select' button.

Why should I group?

-Less dashboard clutter. Items that would have been calibrated together anyway, now appear as one item to complete on the dashboard (i.e. sieves, pycnometers, etc.).

-Efficiency. Users can complete procedures for multiple items under one procedure record.

-Data and information capture. Serial numbers and other information for individual items are stored and kept together within the grouped item.

Who should group?

EVERYONE.
