Managing Seed Banks

Before users can start tracking seeds in Terraware, a Seed Bank or a location under which Accessions will be tracked, must be set up. 

Users with the Admin role are able to manage Seed Banks.

To add a new Seed Bank:

1. Click on Locations in the left navigation bar.
2. Click on Seed Banks under Locations in the left navigation bar.
3. In the Seed Banks page, click the "+ Add Seed Bank” button.
   1. Provide a Name for the Seed Bank.
   2. Provide a Description for the Seed Bank.
   3. If relevant, set up Sub-Locations for the Seed Bank. You will be able to select a Sub-Location when adding Accessions to Seed Banks.
      1. Click the "+ Add Sub-Location" button to add Sub-Locations.
      2. To delete Sub-Location(s) that are not relevant, in the Sub-Locations table, select the Sub-Location(s) using the checkboxes to the left of the Sub-Location Name. Then, click the "Delete" button above the table.
   4. Specify the Time Zone to use when sending notifications about Seed Bank activities. 
      1. Terraware defaults to using your Organization's time zone. If a different Time Zone should be used, uncheck the "Use Organization's time zone" checkbox and select the time zone in the "Time Zone" selector.
   5. If relevant, provide dates for Build Start, Build Completion, and Operation Start for the Seed Bank.
4. Click the "Save" button to create the Seed Bank. 

To make changes to a Seed Bank:

1. Click the name of the Seed Bank in the Seed Banks page to access the Seed Bank details.
2. In the Seed Bank page, click the "+ Edit Seed Bank” button to edit the Seed Bank.
   1. Note: Seed Bank Sub-Locations that have Accessions associated with them cannot be deleted.
3. Click the "Save" button to save any changes to the Seed Bank details.
