===== Main Menu =====

The [[:master:menu|Main Menu]] provides access to essential functions in TapeTrack including server connections, volume management, reporting and users.

The [[:master:customer_filter|Customer filter]] allows you to filter the customer list to display only customers whose Customer-ID's meet the filter criteria.
