      How To Create an Inventory

      SciNote's inventories can be used to track samples, reagents, instruments, and more.

      Follow the steps below to create a new inventory:

      1. Click the Inventories icon from the navigation panel on the left side of your screen.

      2. Click the blue + New Inventory button.

      3. In the pop-up window, enter the name of your new inventory.

      4. Select an Inventory Template (see options below).

      5. Click Create.

      Don't see the New Inventory button? You may not have the proper permissions - Inventories can only be created by Team Administrators. 

      After you create an inventory, you can start customizing the columns and adding items. 

      Inventory Templates

      When creating a new inventory, you can choose from a set of pre-built templates that include predefined columns tailored to common inventory types. These templates help you set up your inventory faster and provide inspiration for structuring your data.

      • Each template includes preset columns and configurations, such as:

        • Status columns with predefined status options

        • Expiry date columns with reminders enabled

      • You can view the included columns by clicking the info icon next to the template name during inventory creation.

      • Inventories created from templates are fully customizable — you can edit, remove, or add columns at any time.

      Template options:

      • Default – Starts with an empty inventory (no predefined columns)

      • Cell Lines – Columns suited for storing cell line data

      • Equipment – Columns for managing lab equipment and maintenance

      • Chemicals & Reagents – Columns for tracking chemicals, reagents, and storage

       

      Once your inventory is created, you can begin customizing the columns and adding items to match your workflow needs.

       

      Inventory templates are available to SciNote Premium customers. Free plan users do not have access to this feature.
