The **Manage Media Library** window displays each of the [[object:volume|Volumes]] separated into tabs by [[object:media|Media]] type. Each [[object:volume]] is displayed with its [[object:volume|Volume-ID]] and Current [[object:repository|Repository]]. The right of the window displays, in graphical format, the different [[object:repository|Repositories]], the total number of [[object:volume|Volumes]] as well as the [[object:volume|Volumes]] flagged to move in or out of that [[object:repository|Repository]].

When a [[object:volume|Volume]] is selected the fields ''Next Move'' and ''[[element:volume_attributes|Attributes]]'' can be edited. 

To edit the ''Next Move Date'' click the button (''...'') in the ''Next Move'' text box to open up the **Next Move Date Selector**.  Select the required Move Date 

The Next Move Date can be set by selecting the required number of years, months and days in top input boxes or by scrolling through the calendar using the scroll arrows to go forward or backwards to select a specific date. 

Clicking on the month or year displayed between the scroll arrows will alter scope from one month to one year to 12 years to 120 years to allow quick acquisition of the required date.

Clicking on a displayed selection will zoom the scope inwards by incrementing steps until your back at a one month display. When displaying one month at a time, clicking on Today at the bottom of the calendar will return you to today’s date.

Click ''OK'' to close the **Next Move Date Selection** window.

To edit the [[element:volume_attributes|Attribute/s]] click in the field to the right of the [[element:volume_attributes|Attribute]] (default Description) and enter required value/s.
