Create a Container in TTS

Question: I am not clear on how a container is supposed to be created. My company sets up metal racks for welders and I need to be able to assign specific components (equipment) to those racks to track as a group.

Answer: A Container is a “grouping” of items….. could be a ‘kit’, could be a ‘bundle’, could be a ‘toolbox’…….. it’s easy to set up one. Create either a “Master” (I.E., template) container, or create a container directly from the Tool Information function in TTS:
