Scispot uses several types of Labsheets, each designed for a specific use case. Because of this, the tools available for managing rows can differ between Labsheets. This guide walks you through how to manage rows across all Labsheet types in Scispot.
Selecting Rows
For all Labsheet types:
Click the checkbox on the left of a row to select it.
Click the checkbox in the header to select all rows.

Once rows are selected, the floating toolbar appears with the following actions:

Add new location – Create a new location (either a root location or a Plate/Box manifest) and specify where it should be added.
