Help us understand your request (check below):

Describe what you're trying to do On the Tools Directory page, can you please rename "Part: Bulkload to Containers" to "Container: Bulkload Parts"

(Object tracking people cannot find it using the current name.)

Once upon a time, making the container-part linkage was referred to as installing the part, perhaps that vocabulary could be useful. (I can see nothing wrong with the suggestion, but it isn't exactly instinctive for me either - maybe that's just a me-thing.)

That implies a workflow that would not be consistent across collections. All of our containers are already "installed" and scanned into position in the collection - we are just virtually adding the parts that are already physically in those containers to make the database connection between the catalog record and object tracking. I would not use or understand the term "installing" in the context of what we do in cryogenic collections.
