Discovering and using the Pipettes module

Contents

1. Overview of the Pipettes module

The Pipettes module centralizes information on pipettes in order to make them easier to manage and track on a day-to-day basis.

Since pipettes are not represented on the 3D plan in Asset Manager, the module provides a dedicated view where users can locate pipettes, check their locations, review their characteristics, and access information relevant to metrological control.

The module allows you to:

Quickly find pipettes using their identifying information
View pipette locations and key characteristics
Identify pipettes that require attention or metrological control
Track and review operational statuses and comments
Complete additional information specific to each team

2. Data Sources

The information displayed in the Pipettes module comes from two complementary sources:

1. Data from iShift

Reference data is imported from iShift using the same process as in the Asset Manager. It includes pipette identification and location details, among other information.

2. Manually entered data

Some information is not available in iShift and must therefore be entered manually by the teams directly in the Pipettes module. This information may include:

Local
Team
Work center
GMP
Last status
Comments

This additional information helps teams maintain the details needed to manage and track their pipettes.

3. Viewing Pipettes

The Pipettes module offers two display modes to meet different user needs: Compact View and Full Table View.

3.1. Compact View

This Compact View is designed to help users quickly identify a pipette and access its main information without having to review every available field. The layout is also optimized for smaller screens.

To view a pipette:

Open the Pipettes module.
Find the pipette you are looking for in the list.
Select the pipette to view its detailed information.

The main information displayed includes:

IMMO number
Location
Label
Work center
Manufacturer
Technical post

3.2. Full Table View

The Full Table View displays all the columns available in the module. It makes it easier to compare information, track pipettes, and update additional data.

Depending on your access rights and the available fields, you may also be able to edit certain information directly from this view.

Important: Only fields configured as editable can be modified. Data imported from iShift cannot be manually edited in the Pipettes module.

4. Editing Pipette Information

Some information can be entered or updated directly in the Pipettes module, including:

Local
Team
Work center
GMP
Last status
Comments

Comments can be used to record useful information about a pipette, for example, to support its tracking or preparation for metrological control. The date and the person associated with a comment are recorded.

The available editing options depend on which fields are configurable and the access rights assigned to the user.

Change tracking

A modification history is available to track changes made to pipette information.

5. Pipette Status

5.1 Last Status

The LAST STATUS column identifies pipettes associated with a specific operational status.

The available statuses are:

Anomaly detected: An anomaly has been reported for the pipette.
Submitted for metrological control: The pipette has been submitted for metrological control.
Not found: The pipette could not be located.

5.2. GMP Classification

The GMP column indicates whether a pipette is classified as GMP or non-GMP. A color code is used to make this classification easier to identify visually.

These indicators help teams quickly identify pipettes requiring attention and prepare the necessary actions.

6. Searching and filtering pipettes

The Pipettes module provides several search and filtering options to help you quickly locate one or more pipettes.

6.1. Searching within a specific column

Column-specific filters allow you to search for pipettes using a particular field.

Example: to find pipettes associated with room 206, use the filter in the location column and enter “206”.

6.2. Using the global search

Global search allows you to search for information across the entire table without selecting a specific column.

It is useful when you only have partial information, such as a number, label, or manufacturer name. Enter your search term in the global search field and review the matching results.
