Cryostorage overview

In order to have an overview of all the materials stored in the cryo storage just select "cryostorage overview" in the system menu:

By selecting "Oocyte / embryo storage locations" or "Sperm storage locations" will be shown only the tank that are dedicated only to oocytes/embryo or sperm. If a tank is dedicated to both materials it will be shown either in the Gyn or Andro.

To select all the tank choose "All storage locations".

Once made the choice will be opened the same window seen in the "Choosing a location in the cryo storage" paragraph. The only difference is that when the printing icon is clicked the user will be able to print a list related to all the patient that have material in the cryostorage.

To dedicate a tank to Gyn, Andro or both material access the Cryo storage section in the settings.
