-==== Overview ==== +When a [[object:volume|Volume]] is moving, it is given a Move [[common:volume_flags|Flag]] and said to be in a **Move Status**. [[object:volume|Volumes]] move from a Current [[object:repository|Repository]] to a Target [[object:repository|Repository]]. Volumes can be confirmed at a Target [[object:repository|Repository]] in TapeMaster by right-clicking in the Volume List, selecting Special Operations, and then confirm or by using a Barcode scanner in [[desktop:lite|TapeTrack Lite]] or [[desktop:checkpoint|TapeTrack Checkpoint]].

-  * **Audit Flag**: A [[object:volume|Volume]] will receive an audit [[common:volume_flags|Flag]] when inventory documents between TapeTrack and other software (such as the software for an off-site vendor) do not match-up.
