Grant Operating Rights to a Location
Operating rights indicate which groups can view the defined locations as storage or usage sites.
Confidential: selecting YES activates the Accessible area, allowing the selection of users who, within a group, will be the only ones to access the location’s content.
Guest: allows a user from another group the right to declare the location as a usage site.
Permissions: differentiates the destination of the location which can be storage, usage, or both.
Propagate: selecting Yes allows all child locations to inherit the settings of the parent location.
For example: propagating the rights of a room to its sub-locations grants identical rights to all the cupboards in the room.
Associating an EPC with a Location
Associating one or more EPCs with a location allows, when selecting the location as a place of use in the usage form, to automatically fill in the EPC. When several EPCs are set, a drop-down list is available.
WARNING
EPCs can only be set in locations of type Room.
To fill in the EPCs for a location:
Display the List of Locations:
– Applications menu > Chemical Products > Locations
1. Search for locations of type Room.
2. Open the location’s form and 
Edit the Equipment tab.
For the user to be able to set the EPCs, they must have the EPC Entry right in the Locations section of their role.
