====== Assign Slot using Volume Properties Target Repository Tab ======

Volumes in a move to or currently confirmed in to the Target Repository you will only need to have the Slot number set. 

Volumes not in a move to or currently confirmed in to the Target Repository you will need both the Target Repository as well as the Slot number set.

While this process can be used any number of [[object:volume|Volumes]], you can only select a [[concepts:slot|Slot]] for one [[object:volume|Volume]] at a time so this process is best suited to one or low number of [[object:volume|Volumes]].  To [[concepts:slot|Slot]] multiple [[object:volume|Volumes]] more efficiently see [[technote:scan_to_assign_usage_map|Scan to assign using Repository Usage Map]].
