Hello

Just wondering how you record locations for removable drawers in cabinets 
etc.  We have a number of small ‘Bisley’ type multidrawer filing cabinets that 
are small enough to be moved in their entirety. Within each of these cabinets 
are removable drawers.   

Long term, these cabinets will not move.

My thoughts therefore on how to record the locations is to treat the cabinet 
as a ‘fixed’ location in the location authority; and treat their removable 
drawers as containers.

So that we know which drawer ‘lives’ in which cabinets I plan to name them 
something like:

 
‘Fixed’ filing cabinet Jewellery 01	Jewellery 02	Miniatures 01
Moveable drawers	 J1 drawer A	J2 drawer A	M1 drawer A
 	              J1 drawer K	J2 drawer K	M1 drawer K
  
By having J1 etc. as part of the container’s name then it should be obvious 
that they ‘live’ in cabinet ‘Jewellery 01’.

Your thoughts on this would be much appreciated.

Many thanks
