VolumeAuto.txt uses Volume filters and date values that can be employed to overide default return dates for matched Volumes.

The file is in CSV Format, and contains the following fields:

• Volume Filter in Customer.Media.Volume Format
• Move Date in the following formats:
  • YYYY-MM-DD
  • *+n (where * is today, and n is an integer days offset
  • Y+n (where Y is the first day of the next year, and n is an integer years offset)
  • y+n (where y is the last day of the next year, and n is an integer years offset)
  • M+n (where M is the first day of the next month, and n is an integer months offset)
  • m+n (where m is the last day of the next month, and n is an integer months offset)
• Description

When using the Send function in Lite, Volumes will be compared to the filters contained in the VolumeAuto file.

If a matching filter is found the date will be evaluated.

if the date value is in the past the search will continue.

If the date value is in the future and is past the default date value, the move date will be overridden with the date value.

If no matching filter is found the default move date will be applied to the Volume.
