-====== Attributes ======
-Attributes are additional variables outside of various Object-IDs and descriptions that can be set for a specific [[master:volumes|Volume]]. Attributes can be searched by using the Search Attributes function in the right-click menu of a [[master:customer|Customer Node]] in the [[master:customer_tree|Customer Tree]].
-===== Adding and Maintaining Attributes =====
-Attributes are divided into three main pieces: Attribute, Type, and Value.
-  * **Attribute**: An Attribute is an item that can have many variables assigned to it, similar to a category.
-  * **Type**: There are three types of acceptable Attribute: Dates, Integers, and Strings.
-  * **Value**: The Values are the unique variables that are assigned to each Attribute on a [[master:volumes|Volume]] level.
-==== Setting Attributes and Types ====
-Attributes and types are set at a Customer level by right-clicking a Customer in the Customer Tree and selecting
- **Properties**.
-{{:master:tapemaster_customer_properties.png}}
-This will launch the Customer Properties Window. Select the Attributes tab.
-{{:master:tapemaster_attribute.png}}
-Left-click in the Attribute field next to an Index number to enter an Attribute.
-By default, the type will be set to String. Click String to select either String, Integer, or Date from the Type Drop Down Menu.
-Set **Required** to the required value when creating new volumes:
-  * ''False'' equates to optional value.
-  *  ''True'' equates to mandatory entry.
-==== Setting Attribute Values ====
-Attribute Values are set at a [[master:volumes|Volume]] Level in the Attributes Tab of the [[master:volume_properties_window|Volume Properties Window]]. To launch the [[master:volume_properties_window|Volume Properties Window]] for a specific [[master:volumes|Volume]], double-click a Volume in the [[master:view_volume_list|Volume List]] or right-click a [[master:volumes|Volume]] in the [[master:view_volume_list|Volume List]] and select **Properties**.
-{{:master:tapemaster_attribute_volume.png}}
-Left-click in the Value field across from the desired Attribute to set a value for that Attribute.
-==== Attribute History ====
-Changes to attributes are kept in a historical log.  To access the historical values of an attribute for a particular volume double click the selected volume or right-click and select properties.  Open the attributes tab and select the dropdown box ''Available Attribute History'' and click on the required attribute category.
-{{:master:tapemaster_attribute_volume_history.png}}
-This will open the **Attribute History**, displaying the previous values the attribute has been set to, the date it was changed and the user who updated it.

-==== Searching Attributes ====
-The Search Attributes function can be launched by right-clicking a [[master:customer|Customer]] in the [[master:customer_tree|Customer Tree]] and selecting **Search Attributes**.
-{{:master:tapemaster_searh_attributes.png}}
-This will launch the Attribute Search window. The Attribute Search window is divided into two windows: the filter window and the Item List.
-The filters window displays the Attributes set at a [[master:customer|Customer]] level. Left-click next to an Attribute and type in an Attribute Value to search for all Volumes that have that Attribute Value set.
-Right-clicking in the Item List window will provide options to print a list of the [[master:volumes|Volumes]] with the selected Attribute Value set.
