| |
| The TapeTrack Lite Send function is used to select media volumes that reside in one location for the purpose of putting the volumes into a move status to another location. | When a [[object:volume|Volume]] is put into a Move status this only represents the request to move the [[object:volume|Volume]] and a second step is required to Confirm the movement of the [[object:volume|Volume]]. |
| |

| In addition to putting each volume into a move state, the send function also allows you to set values such as: | - A [[lite:function_volume_management|Next Move Date]] which will influence when a [[object:volume|Volume]] returns to you. |
| | - A Description of the [[object:volume|Volume]] . |
| | - A Time Threshold which will raise an alert if the [[object:volume|Volume]] is not Scanned-In at the next location or [[object:repository|Repository]]. |
| | - A [[object:data_cluster|Data Cluster]] which can be used to automatically determine the [[lite:function_volume_management|Next Move Date]], using a [[object:simple_management|Simple Management Rule]]. |
| |
| - A [[primer:next_move_date|Next Move Date]] which will influence when a volume returns to you. | ===== Send Volumes Process ===== |
