====== De-Assign From Container ======

The [[object:repository|Repository]] Option ''De-Assign From Container'' removes the [[object:volume|Volume]] from its' assigned Container on Confirmation into this [[object:repository|Repository]].

===== De-Assign From Container Options =====

  * ''True'': Removes [[object:volume|Volume]] from its' assigned Container.
  * ''False'': Does not remove [[object:volume|Volume]] from its' assigned Container.

De-Assign From Container automatically removes a volume from its container when the volume is confirmed into the repository.

Example:

  * Tape 000123L8 is assigned to container BOX001.
  * The tape is moved to repository LIBR.
  * LIBR has De-Assign From Container = True.
  * When the tape is confirmed at LIBR, its assignment to BOX001 is removed.

^Setting	^When the volume is confirmed^
|False	|The volume remains assigned to its container|
|True	|The volume is removed from its container|

Important distinctions:

  * It takes effect when the volume is confirmed, not merely placed into a move.
  * It de-assigns the confirmed volume; it does not automatically empty every other tape from that container.
  * It does not delete the container.
  * It does not move the container or its other contents.

This is useful for a destination where tapes are routinely unpacked—for example, a library receiving tapes from transport boxes.

The related Empty Container option is broader: it removes all volume assignments from a container when the applicable confirmation occurs
