Favorite Flag

Volumes that need to be referenced on a regular basis, or need to be observed for any specific reason can be marked as a favorite. This allows easy identification and quick filtering from other Volumes.

Adding a Favorite Volume

Select a Volume, or a range of Volumes, to be marked as a favorite. Right-click highlighted Volume/s and select FavoritesSet.

Insert comments describing why the Volumes are being marked as favorites and click OK.

This will add an F flag to the Volume/s and change the icon to a star.

Removing a Favorite Volume

Select a Volume, or a range of Volumes, to be removed as a favorite. Right-click highlighted Volume/s and select FavoritesUn-Set.

This will remove the F flag from the Volume/s and change the icon from a star to its original icon, either a Volume or Container.

Filtering Favorites

Adding an F in the Flags filter field will display any Volume marked as Favorite.

Pressing Ctrl+F will clear all filters and refresh the Volume display.

Listing Favorites

From the Main Menu, click Favorites > List.

From the Favorite list window you can right click any Volume and select Remove to unset the favorite Flag or click Ctrl+E to open the export to file selection to export the inventory information of the selected Volumes.
