Hello group -



We are adding location records to TMS for all of our objects (finally!) I have created locations in the Location Authority for all of the obvious cabinets, shelves and drawers but we have multiple solander boxes on a single shelf.  We would like to be able to add that level of granularity to our TMS searches.



My question is: how would you record the location of objects in solander boxes?  The only thing I can think of is to create each solander box as a "unit position" in the location authority.



Our current location hierarchy is as follows:

Site: storage

Subsite: room number

Unit type: carriage and bay

Unit number: shelf/drawer

Unit position: solander box number?



Is this a sensible approach? Is there a better way?



Thanks all.



Stephanie
