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 volume is put into a move status this only represents the request to move the volume and a second step is required to confirm the movement of the volume.

In addition to putting each volume into a move state, the send function also allows you to set the:

1. Next Move date (the date the volume will automatically return to another location).
2. A description of the volume.
3. A late threshold where the volume will be flagged as late if it has not been confirmed.

1. Select Send from the Library Management Tasks drop-down menu.
2. Once you have selected the required task, you then press Next to progress to the next screen.
