-In the Edit Media Window click the Volume-ID Building tab.  Press the **insert** key or right click in the upper window and select **Before** or **After** depending on where you need the next range inserted.
+==== Building The Volume-ID Sequence ====
-Repeat this process until you have enough ranges to create the barcodes you require.  The ranges can be edited to encompass a range of numbers, letters or characters, or they can be set to one value.
+In the ''Edit Media'' Window click the ''Volume-ID Building'' tab.  Press the ''Insert'' key or right-click in the upper window and select ''Before'' or ''After'' depending on where you need the next range inserted.
-Once you have built the required volume ID's, select the range required in the lower window.  Right click the highlighted range and select ''Add'' to add the volumes to the default repository or ''Add to'' and select the required repository.

+{{master:tapemaster_volume_properties_build_range_delete.png}}
+Repeat this process until you have enough ranges to create the Barcodes you require.  The ranges can be edited to encompass a range of numbers, letters or characters, or they can be set to a single value, such as making the last index **L5** to have all serials end in that value.
+==== Add Volume-ID's ====
+The lower window displays the constructed index, the series of [[object:volume|Volume-ID's]] and whether the [[object:volume|Volume-ID's]] is defined (already exists as a [[object:volume|Volume-ID]] in the media type) or undefined (does not already exist as a [[object:volume|Volume-ID]] in the media type).
+Select the range required in the lower window, ensuring selecting just the undefined [[object:volume|Volume-ID's]].
+Right-click the highlighted range and select ''Add'' to add the [[object:volume|Volumes]] to your default [[object:repository|Repository]] or ''Add To'' and select the required [[object:repository|Repository]].
