====== Built In Repositories ======

TapeMaster has 3 built in [[object:repository|Repositories]], which are hidden by default.

To display the Hidden Repositories, right-click on the required [[object:media|Media]] type and select ''Properties''.

Select the ''Options'' tab in the [[object:media|Media]] Type Properties window and set ''Show Built In Repositories'' to ''true''. 

The [[object:repository|Repositories]] **Initial**, **Next** and **Home** will be displayed in the [[object:repository|Repository]] window.

The Built-In [[object:repository|Repositories]] often do not exist as locations, but are used as settings in the Options Tab of the Volume Properties Window to dictate movements.

===== Built In Repository Functions =====

==== Initial Repository ====

If ''No Selection'' is set in the ''Default Repository'' field in the Media Type Properties Window's ''Options'' Tab, newly added [[object:volume|Volumes]] will be allocated to the Initial [[object:repository|Repositories]].

Any other [[object:repository|Repositories]] may be set as the default location for new [[object:volume|Volumes]] by right-clicking the required [[object:repository|Repository]] and selecting ''Make Default Repository''

==== Home Repository ====

Dragging and dropping [[object:volume|Volumes]] to the Home [[object:repository|Repository]] places them into a move status to the [[object:repository|Repository]] set as the Home Repository in the [[object:volume|Volume]] Properties Window ''Options'' tab. 

An example for using this function would be [[object:volume|Volumes]] returning from offsite storage back on-site and needing to be stored in different racks ([[object:repository|Repositories]]).  Having the required rack set for each [[object:volume|Volume]] allows you to drag and drop all the [[object:volume|Volumes]] on the Home [[object:repository|Repository]] and letting TapeTrack sort which [[object:repository|Repository]] each of the [[object:volume|Volumes]] belong in, saving you having to separate each group of [[object:volume|Volumes]] for each [[object:repository|Repository]] manually.

A [[object:volume|Volume's]] **Home Repository** can be set in the Volume Properties Window ''Options'' Tab.

or by right-clicking [[object:volume|Volumes]] in the Volume List, then selecting [[inventory_right_menu|Special Operations]], Modify, and Home [[object:repository|Repository]].  Selecting a range of [[object:volume|Volumes]] allows you to assign multiple [[object:volume|Volumes]] Home [[object:repository|Repository]] in the one operation.

==== Next Repository ====

Drag and dropping [[object:volume|Volumes]] to the next [[object:repository|Repository]] places them into a move status to the [[object:repository|Repository]] set as the Next [[object:repository|Repository]] in the [[object:volume|Volume]] Properties Window ''Options'' tab.
