Defining favorite information for serial and lot numbers
The favorite information feature lets you choose which fields you want to see for serial numbers and lot numbers. The same setup option is available for items, customers, and other related records.
When you open a serial number information list or a lot number information list, you can configure an information fact box to display your chosen fields. You decide which favorite numbers to add, and those specifications then appear directly in the overview. This means you see the relevant details at a glance instead of opening each record individually.
Adding replicated fields directly on serial and lot numbers

The functionality works consistently across the different views. You can use it when you drill into a card, and it applies to both the lot number information list and the lot number information card. Whichever way you navigate, the favorite information and replicated fields stay available.
