Creating a Transaction Attribute

Note: This feature requires the Chemical Inventory module licensed at your site.

Create a transaction attribute to enable a new note, classification, or other information to be added to one or more transactions. After the new transaction is created, it becomes available for any of the following operations:

        Adding/Removing Transaction Attributes: Add any available attributes to (or remove them from) a single transaction.

        Adding Transaction Attributes to Transactions in a Collection: Add any available attributes to all transactions in a collection.

        Removing Specific Transaction Attributes from Transactions in a Collection: Remove specific attributes from all transactions in a collection.

        Clearing All Transaction Attributes from Transactions in a Collection: Remove all attributes from all transactions in a collection.

Transaction attributes created at Corporate are available for transactions at all sites. Transaction attributes created at a local site are available for transactions at that site only.

To create a transaction attribute:

Starting at the administrative Transaction Attributes page (How do I get there?), do the following:

1.      In the menu on the left, under INVENTORY > Transaction Attributes, click New Attribute.

Fields appear for defining the new attribute.

2.      In the Attribute field, enter the new attribute's primary name.

3.      In the Description field, enter a helpful description of what the new attribute indicates when it is added to a transaction.

4.      Click Save.

The new transaction attribute is saved and added to the list of available attributes. It is now available for any of the operations listed above.
