FAQs

Can I import into LabArchives Inventory?

Can I place orders with vendors directly from Inventory?

LabArchives Inventory allows for approval and organization of order requests. These requests can then be exported as a “shopping list” to enter into your institution’s ordering system.

Can I scan QR labels with the QR app on my phone?

The LabArchives Inventory program has been designed to be mobile friendly. From your mobile device’s browser, you can scan QR codes you’ve generated from the program. Simply select the camera icon near the search window on the Inventory menu to scan.

Can I export from LabArchives Inventory?

Yes, inventory items and orders can be searched and filtered as well as exported for reporting and ordering purposes.

Can I customize information for my lab?

Yes, we have two highly customizable points: 

  • Inventory Types: We provide 9 default types to categorize inventory items, but you can modify to match the types used in your lab. You can customize the detail fields for the defaults, delete the ones that aren’t relevant (with the exception of the General), and create your own new types.
  • Storage: You can create a multi-level representation of your storage locations so that you can view items from multiple perspectives.

You have questions, and we have answers. Check our full list of Inventory FAQs here.

“Inventory is all about helping scientists organize items in their lab in a physical and digital way – items they ‘make’ and things they order, too. It’s a way for everyone to keep track of what they’re working on and what they’ll need in the future.
