The Combinations sub-module allows you to know the content of a physical combination without needing to open it, speed up the warehouse’s processes by booking a combination of items packaged together with one click/scan, as well as track serial numbers, so you know exactly where every piece of equipment is or was.

Important Update: Please note that containers have been converted to physical combinations with the rollout of new equipment types. You can find your (former) containers in the 'category Equipment' module -> filter_list Filter by 'Converted containers' folder Folder or in the 'warehouse  Warehouse' module -> 'Combinations'.

Sub-module Overview

To access the 'Combinations' sub-module, go to the  Warehouse module and follow the steps from the video below:

Filter by folders

You can easily filter your view by folders. You can find your (former) containers by clicking on filter_list Filter by 'Converted containers' folder Folder

View 'Content status'

After setting up your combinations, simply scan their QR code to see what's inside and if the combination is complete. You no longer have to check your equipment manually while packing.

Instead, you can utilize content statuses to indicate the completeness of each serial number in your physical combination. This is especially useful when dealing with transport cases containing many adapters, small items, and accessories.

How it works

Please note: If you don't have Equipment editing rights, you are only able to do the following:
- Complete actual content;
- Edit the content of the serial number.
If you need to perform additional actions, such as editing or opening the serial number view, or editing equipment items, you will need to enable Equipment editing rights in the settings Configuration module > User roles.

Adding a new combination

In the app’s warehouse  Warehouse module:

Go to the Warehouse module  > Select the project > Start booking. Click on 'Scan' icon and scan the QR code of your combination. Choose the Serial number and expand the view by clicking on . Swipe left to Unseal the combination and click on Edit button.
