 ====== Moving Volumes ======

+Moving [[object:volume|Volumes]] between [[object:repository|Repositories]] so that they remain in synchronisation with the physical movement of the actual [[object:volume|Volumes]] between locations would be the most important function with TapeTrack.
-Volumes can be moved manually via drag and drop, using a barcode scanner, set move dates, synchronization scripts or a combination of these methods.
+Moving a [[object:volume|Volume]] from one [[object:repository|Repository]] to another involves several processes:
+  * Updating the [[object:volume|Volume's]] Target [[object:repository|Repository]] to place it in a move status.
+  * Scanning the [[object:volume|Volume]] out of the Current [[object:repository|Repository]] (optional but recommended).
+  * Confirming the [[object:volume|Volume]] in the Target [[object:repository|Repository]] .

-===== Manually Moving Volumes =====
+The method best suited to moving the [[object:volume|Volumes]] is dependent on the number of [[object:volume|Volumes]] to be moved, how the information
+is received on which [[object:volume|Volumes]] need to be moved and access to hardware such as scanners, keyboard or mouse.
-While manually moving volumes is, essentially, the simplest way of moving a volume from one repository to another the method best suited to small numbers of volumes or when the volume list is supplied in email or text file.
+===== Putting Volumes Into A Move =====
-==== Drag and Drop ====
+Updating a [[object:volume|Volumes]] Target location to a [[object:repository|Repository]] other than its' Current [[object:repository|Repository]] will place the [[object:volume|Volume]] into a move status.  The [[object:volume|Volumes]] Target location can be updated:
+  * [[:master:moving_volumes_manually|Moving Volumes Manually]].
+  * [[technote:excel_import|Excel Data Importation]].
+  * [[:master:moving_volumes_sync|Via Synchronization]].
-Drag and Drop selected volumes is a quick method for moving small groups of easily identified volumes.  Simply select the volume (or range of volumes by Ctrl + click and/or Shift + click) and drag them to the required target repository and release the mouse.
+===== Scanning Volumes Out =====
-Volumes can also be selected using the [[:master:scan-to-select-volumes|scan to select]] function.
+While scanning a [[object:volume|Volume]] out of its' Current [[object:repository|Repository]] is an optional step in the movement process it has the added benefits of
+  * Ensuring the correct [[object:volume|Volumes]] are being moved as any incorrect [[object:volume|Volumes]] will be alerted.
+  * Maintains a more accurate chain of custody as TapeTrack records the operator scanning out the [[object:volume|Volume]] as well as the date and time.
+  * Enables filtering of [[object:volume|Volumes]] that have been scanned out from other [[object:volume|Volumes]] in a move status.

+===== Confirming Move =====
-The selected volumes will now have a target repository of the repository you dropped the volume/s on.
+Confirming [[object:volume|Volumes]] into their Target [[object:repository|Repository]] updates the [[object:volume|Volume's]] Current [[object:repository|Repository]] to that of the Target [[object:repository|Repository]] .  This removes the [[object:volume|Volumes]] move status and verifies its arrival at the specified [[object:repository|Repository]] .
-{{:master:tapemaster_volume_drag_drop_moving.png}}
+[[object:volume|Volumes]] can be confirmed:
+  * [[:master:confirm_volumes_manually|Manually]].
+  * [[lite:function_reconciliation|Via Reconciliation]].
+  * [[:master:confirm_volumes_sync|Via Synchronization]].
-==== Copy and Paste ====
-Copy the volume ID's to your clipboard from text file, csv, email or other format.
+===== Move Errors =====
-Right click the repository you want the volumes to move to and select ''Scan'' -> ''To Move''.
+==== Moving Volumes Back To Current Repository Before Confirming At Target Repository ====
-{{:master:tapemaster_scan_to_move.png}}
+Moving a [[object:volume|Volume]] that is currently in a move status back to it's Current [[object:repository|Repository]] before confirming at it's Target [[object:repository|Repository]]  will:
+  * Move [[object:volume|Volume]] back to it's Current [[object:repository|Repository]] .
+  * Set Target [[object:repository|Repository]] to it's Current [[object:repository|Repository]] .
+  * Remove ''M'' (move) flag.
+  * Throw an error ''Update OK but marked for followup''.
+  * Add a ''W'' (warning) [[common:volume_flags|flag]] to the [[object:volume|Volume]] and highlight that [[object:volume|Volume]] in an orange background.
-From the scan in window click the **Clipboard** icon to paste in the volume ID's.
+The [[object:volume|Volume]] is highlighted with the orange background and ''W'' [[common:volume_flags|flag]] added to allow the operator to easily identify [[object:volume|Volumes]] that have been moved back before Confirmation.  This allows the operator to investigate why this has happened and make adjustments to [[object:volume|Volume]] movement processes if required.
-Close the scan in window by clicking th ''X'' at the top right.
+[[:daytoday:moving_volumes_error_w|Move back error examples]]
-The volumes will now have a target repository displayed.
