3. Inventory
Read this section to learn more about your Tracr inventory, how to view the Diamond Details page, and how to share the details of one or more diamonds with an external party.
Overview
Once a diamond is uploaded using the Integration Tool or Tracr Loader and has been registered and assigned a Tracr ID, it appears in your inventory. Diamonds will also appear in your inventory when you confirm ownership of a diamond transfer.
The diamonds in your inventory are distributed by lifecycle state. Access each diamond lifecycle state from the Tracr menu under Inventory:
Rough – Includes only rough diamonds.
Split – Includes split and any other intermediary steps before the diamond is polished.
Polished – Includes only polished diamonds.
Graded – Includes only graded diamonds (polished diamonds with a grading certificate). You can upload a grading certificate (as a PDF file) either during upload of polished data or by updating a polished diamond that you have already uploaded.
Note: Tracr automatically manages your inventory, which means that every time you integrate (add) diamonds, and they pass the control process, your inventory is updated. For example, if you have diamonds in your rough inventory and then upload polished data, Tracr automatically moves the diamonds from your rough inventory to your polished inventory.
View your inventory
There are separate diamond inventories for the various lifecycle states: Rough, Split, Polished, and Graded.
Within each inventory, diamonds will either be active (listed on the Active tab) or archived (listed on the Archived tab).
Use the filters at the top of the Inventory page to find diamonds in your inventory. Different filters are available depending on the lifecycle state of the diamond.
To sort your inventory in ascending or descending order, select a column heading. Any sorting that you apply persists when you move between your inventory and diamond details.
Filter your inventory
Use filters to find diamonds of interest in your inventory.
Note that any filters you apply persist when you move between your inventory and diamond details.
Filter by ID
You can now search for multiple diamonds at the same time using our new multi value search. Type or paste a list of values into the search box and all values will be searched for simultaneously. Values must be separated by a comma or a semi-colon.
Once you've entered all the values you want to search for, click the search icon, or press enter to perform the search. The Tracr ID, Participant ID, Box ID, Grading Inscription Number, and Grading Report Number fields will be searched for all the values you've entered.
Any diamond which has a field that matches any of the search terms exactly will be returned. The search is case sensitive.
This enhancement is designed to provide greater flexibility and efficiency in your search process.
Now multiple diamonds can be searched for and operated on, as the start of a shipment creation process for example.
Filter using date or physical characteristics
You can filter your inventory using a set of default filters:
Rough and Split Inventory – Filter by date (using the participant_timestamp in the uploaded CSV file), carats, colour, model, and/or quality. A Rough Check filter is available if one or more diamonds has a Rough Check, which indicates that a scan was uploaded (by the manufacturer) with the diamond, which Tracr has checked and matched against the producer's scan of that diamond.
Polished and Graded Inventory – Filter by date (using the participant_timestamp in the uploaded CSV file), status, carats, clarity, colour, cut, polish, and/or shape. A Rough Check filter is available if one or more diamonds has a Rough Check, which indicates that a scan was uploaded (by the manufacturer) with the diamond, which Tracr has checked and matched against the producer's scan of that diamond.
To filter by date:
Select Last updated, choose the date from the calendar, and select Apply. Tracr only displays diamonds matching the selected date.
To filter by physical characteristics or status:
Select the filter, select the filter value(s) that you want to use, and select Apply. Tracr only displays diamonds matching the selected filter conditions.
Filter using additional filters
To apply additional filters:
Select More filters.
Choose the filter criteria that you want to apply. To set a range, either move the green indicators to the appropriate positions or select an indicator and then use the left and right arrows on your keyboard to set the value you require. Tracr displays the number of diamonds that match your filter criteria in the bottom right of the More filters window.
If you make a mistake, either clear a filter checkbox or select Clear all. This also resets all ranges to their default values.
To view your filtered inventory, select View Diamonds.
Clear all filters
To clear all filters and redisplay all diamonds in your inventory:
Select Clear filters.

View a diamond’s journey (Diamond Details)
The Diamond Details page is a visual representation of a diamond's journey through its lifecycle, and it is available for all diamonds in your inventory.
Every time you upload a new session, and the diamonds pass the control process, Tracr adds these diamonds to your inventory and generates the Diamond Details page for each one. If you update diamonds in your inventory, Tracr automatically updates the Diamond Details page.
For each diamond, the Diamond Details page displays a photograph of the latest stage of the diamond (if provided), basic information (provenance, carat, shape, colour), and the Tracr ID.
Also shown is a summary of the diamond’s stages (Rough > Split (latest version) > Polished) followed by photographs/videos and more details about each stage. You can also view stage-specific details, scan reports, and grading certificates (if provided).
To open the Diamond Details page for a diamond, do one of the following:
Select the row in the table corresponding to the diamond that you want to view.
In the Actions column, select the ellipsis, and then select View.
To view more than one diamond:
Select the checkbox next to all the diamonds that you want to view (maximum 40 diamonds). At the bottom of the page, select View.

Rough Check status is carried downstream from the original rough diamond to later diamond lifecycle states.
