-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]].
