What are serial numbers used for in Quartzy?
Quartzy serial numbers are used as a unique identifier for each item in a lab's Inventory module. When you use Excel to make changes to your inventory in bulk, the system uses the serial numbers to match the items in your Excel file to the items in your Quartzy lab, so that the correct items are updated or deleted.
For Item Instances, each item uses the unique Quartzy serial number, while instances of that item use a unique Subitem ID — but each instance shares the same serial number as the item.
Quartzy serial numbers are also used to generate barcode labels for your inventory items.
Can I edit a Quartzy serial number?
No - Quartzy serial numbers cannot be edited or deleted.
Can I use my own serial numbers?
If you'd like to use your own serial numbers in addition to Quartzy's serial numbers, you can create a custom field to store those serial numbers.
