Drag and dropping [[volumes]] to the Home Repository will move them to the [[repository]] set as the Home Repository in the [[volumes|Volume]] Properties Window ''Options'' tab. | Dragging and dropping [[object:volume|Volumes]] to the Home [[object:repository|Repository]] places them into a move status to the [[object:repository|Repository]] set as the Home Repository in the [[object:volume|Volume]] Properties Window ''Options'' tab. |

An example reason for using this function would be [[volumes]] returning from offsite storage back onsite and needing to be stored in different racks ([[repository|repositories]]). Having the required rack set for each [[volumes|volume]] allows you to drag and drop all the [[volumes]] on the home repository and letting TapeTrack sort which [[repository]] each of the [[volumes]] belong in, saving you having to separate each group of [[volumes]] for each [[repository]] manually. | An example for using this function would be [[object:volume|Volumes]] returning from offsite storage back on-site and needing to be stored in different racks ([[object:repository|Repositories]]).

Dragging Volumes to the Next Repository will move them to the repository set as the Next Repository in the Options Tab of the Repository Properties Window of the Volume's current location. | |
