==== Options ====

Options tab allows entry for:
  * ''Extension Characters'' or additional characters that can be used in identifiers such as Data Clusters
  * ''Customer-ID Filter''.  Set acceptable [[object:customer|Customer-ID]] filters to enforce format rules.  e.g. ???? will force all [[object:customer|Customer-ID's]] to be exactly four characters long.
  * ''Friday Weekend''.  Setting to true will start the weekend on Friday, false will start the weekend on Saturday.
  * ''Active Directory Group'' that is checked to ensure user can logon.  If left empty the group 'TapeTrack Users' will be checked if the user profile enables that option.
  * ''Volume Stages''. A list of volume stages, delimited by semicolons. e.g.Ordered;Used;Destroyed

==== Public Holidays ====

The Public Holidays tab provides an area to set holidays that should be avoided by Simple Management Rules.

To add a holiday right-click and select add and the position for the new entry (before, after or end). This will create a new holiday with a sequential Index number and a description of "**New**".

Double-click the Holiday Index Number or right-click the Holiday and select "Properties" to open the Holiday Details window.

Insert the holiday group description and filter.  Check Enable to make the rule functional.

Right-click in the lower window and select add to insert a new holiday.  Change the description from new and adjust the date.  Press enter when information is correct.  

Repeat process until all dates needed have been entered and click ''OK'' and ''Save'' to commit data and exit back to TapeMaster.

==== Attribute List Values ====

Attribute Lists allow you to set a defined list of attribute values for a user to select from.  This ensures that all attribute values entered against a Volume are limited to the supplied list, removing the ability to enter unwanted values or spelling differences (eg Removed or removed) and increasing productivity by removing the need to retype common attribute values.

When setting the values, ''Description'' becomes the ''Extended Attribute Index'' display name and ''Values'' become the values presented in a drop-down list used to select the ''Extended Attribute'' value to assign to the [[object:volume|Volume]].
