 ====== Scan To Slot ======
+All Slotting operations require Checkpoint to be in ''Query mode''.

 ===== Scanning Volumes To Slots Using Zone, Slot and Volume Barcodes =====
-This method relies on both the zones and slots being barcoded. Further information on printing barcodes can be found [[checkpoint:print_barcodes|here]].
+This method relies on both the zones and Slots being Barcoded (further information on printing Barcodes can be found [[checkpoint:print_barcodes|here]]).  Slotting on the [[object:repository|Repository]] also need to be disabled if you have the Slotting allocation script being run by the scheduler or volumes will be automatically allocated a Slot based on the Slotting mode of that [[object:repository|Repository]].
-From the customer tree right click required customer/s and select ''Add'' to load volumes into **To Scan** window.

 Once all volumes required have been added to the **To Scan** window, select ''Process''->''Special Operations''->''Scan To Slot'' from the main menu to open the scan window.

+Scan **Zone** barcode, **Slot** barcode and then the **Volume** barcode.
+Checkpoint will now ask you to confirm the Slot and volume by rescanning the volume barcode.  If the same volume barcode is scanned the [[object:volume|Volumes]] will be allocated to that Slot.

+While still allocating [[object:volume|Volumes]] in the selected zone, subsequent scans only require scanning the next Slot and [[object:volume|Volume]] and then scanning the [[object:volume|Volumes]] again to confirm the Slot allocation.
+<note tip>Scanning to Slot only allocates the [[object:volume|Volumes]] to the selected Slots, [[object:volume|Volumes]] will still need to be scanned into the [[object:repository|Repository]]/Slots to confirm the [[object:volume|Volumes]] to that location.</note>
+===== Scan to Set Slot Allocation Flag =====
+Using this method enables you to control the Slot allocation order of [[object:volume|Volumes]], based on the order you scan them in.
+This process requires the **Do not slot** option to be enabled for the Target [[object:repository|Repository]] and the executable [[cli:tmss10slotallocation|TMSS10SlotAllocation]] to be run either manually after scanning [[object:volume|Volumes]] or scheduled on a regular basis so that it runs after scanning to set Slot allocation [[common:volume_flags|Flag]] and before scanning in to the Slots to confirm.
+As [[object:volume|Volumes]] are placed in a move to the [[object:repository|Repository]], a **t** [[common:volume_flags|Flag]] will be assigned.  This **t** [[common:volume_flags|Flag]] stops the slotting.bat script automatically assigning a Slot.
+{{:master:tapemaster_volume_t_flag.png}}
+When the [[object:volume|Volumes]] arrive at the [[object:repository|Repository]], after loading the required [[object:media|Media]] into the **To Scan** window, selecting ''Process''->''Special Operations''->''Scan to Set Slot Allocation Flag'' to open the **Scan** window.
+Scan the [[object:volume|Volumes]] in the order you want the Slots to be assigned and, when all [[object:volume|Volumes]] have been scanned, close the **Scan** window. Select ''Process''->''Update Server'' to update the Slot allocation [[common:volume_flags|Flag]]s on the scanned [[object:volume|Volumes]].
+Either wait the required time (depending on how often you have the Slotting.bat file scheduled to run) or run the script manually if required.
+Update the Checkpoint tree by selecting ''Process''->''Build/Update Movement Tree'' from the main menu.  Add required moving media back into the **To Scan** window, which will now display the allocated Slots for the [[object:volume|Volumes]].
+Open the **Scan** window to scan-in the [[object:volume|Volumes]].
+Ensure the default [[object:customer|Customer-ID]] and [[object:media|Media-ID]] on the right of the **Scan** window are correct.
+Enter in the required scan mode:
+  * Enter **0** for scanning [[object:volume|Volumes]] barcode only.
+  * Enter **1** for scanning Zone and [[object:volume|Volumes]] barcodes.
+  * Enter **2** for Zone, Slot and [[object:volume|Volumes]] barcodes.
-Scan **Zone** barcode and **Slot** barcode and then the **Volume** barcode.
+Scan in the [[object:volume|Volumes]] as per normal operations to confirm [[object:volume|Volumes]] into their assigned Slots.
-Checkpoint will now ask you to confirm the slot and volume by rescanning the barcodes.  If the same values are scanned in the volume will be allocated to that slot.
-While still allocating volumes in the selected zone, subsequent scans only require scanning the next slot and volume and then scanning slot and volume again to confirm the slot allocation.
