Create an Inventory / List¶

Tip

An inventory is a list of chemicals and associated data. They can be produced by regulators across the world or internally by clients. Inventories in Active Steward can be searched to check what list a substance appears in Search Inventory By Substance.
The purpose of these lists is varied. Some examples are:

Lists for occupational exposure limits for a particular company (i.e. the limit that workers can be exposed to).
Regulatory lists by country/region - there may be actions that companies have to take if a substance is on a specific list.
Hazardous lists - There may be additional restrictions for chemicals on this list.
Company specific lists.

Notifications can be received when a new list is created or an existing one updated. The notifications are sent if the list contains a constituent in the current partition. To receive these the user must have the notifications enabled - see Notifications Guide for more information.

Warning

The Active Steward team maintain a series of lists distributed to all Active Steward systems (if enabled in the configuration settings). If the list to be added is a general list that may be of interest to others, please contact support@activesteward.com, and it can be added to the centrally managed database.
Administrators can toggle whether shared inventories managed by Penman Consulting are shown in the instance. This is set in the configuration screen found under the settings icon the top navigation bar. Enter "true" into the "Enable remote inventory service" field to show shared inventories.
