Inventory - Overview
====================


The KDXplore **Inventory Plug-in** provides users with a means to locate and quantify items or germplasm which represent planting or harvest material such as seed bags.

This is done by exploring the relationship between genotypes, specimens, and items in KDDart. For example, the user (knowing a genotype ID) can query KDDart for all associated specimens, then view the associated material that is available in storage.


Inventory has the following main features:

- Ability to assist with checking if a number of germplasm (which might be planned to use in a trial) have sufficient material for planting;
- Ability to explore associated specimens for a genotype object in KDDart; and
- Find the storage location(s) of certain material for a specimen or genotype.

.. Note:: **Inventory** and this documentation module are in Alpha. Check back soon here soon or get in touch with us at kdxplore@diversityarrays.com for more information.
