An example for using this function would be [[volumes]] returning from offsite storage back on-site 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 [[object:repository|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]]).
