Adding New Volumes

Adding new Volumes to Tapetrack can be accomplished using one of two methods.

Adding New Volumes Using Volume Management

Adding New Volumes Using Send

Using Send to add new Volumes is only recommended when the new Volumes are part of a consignment being sent already. If just adding new Volumes to the inventory using Volume Management is the correct process to use.

Select Send from the Task Menu and click Next to continue.
