Volume Global View allows you to view and/or search Volumes across all Customers and Media types within the one report.

To open Volume Global View select from the main menu Tools → Volume Global View.

The Global View Scope window opens with wildcard (*) values for each search field by default which will include every Volume within TapeTrack in the report.

The output results can be focused at this stage if a more refined report is preferred by using String Filters on the Customer-ID or Customer Description field and/or the Media-ID or Media Description field.

The Attribute Index allows the selection of which Extended Attribute to display in the report (Description or Attribute 0 is the default value).

Click OK to continue to the Volume Global View.
