   * ''True'': Removes [[object:volume|Volume]] from its' assigned Container.   * ''True'': Removes [[object:volume|Volume]] from its' assigned Container.
   * ''False'': Does not remove [[object:volume|Volume]] from its' assigned Container.   * ''False'': Does not remove [[object:volume|Volume]] from its' assigned Container.

 +De-Assign From Container automatically removes a volume from its container when the volume is confirmed into the repository.
 +
 +Example:
 +
 +  * Tape 000123L8 is assigned to container BOX001.
 +  * The tape is moved to repository LIBR.
 +  * LIBR has De-Assign From Container = True.
 +  * When the tape is confirmed at LIBR, its assignment to BOX001 is removed.
 +
 +^Setting ^When the volume is confirmed^
 +|False |The volume remains assigned to its container|
 +|True |The volume is removed from its container|
 +
 +Important distinctions:
 +
 +  * It takes effect when the volume is confirmed, not merely placed into a move.
 +  * It de-assigns the confirmed volume; it does not automatically empty every other tape from that container.
 +  * It does not delete the container.
 +  * It does not move the container or its other contents.
 +
 +This is useful for a destination where tapes are routinely unpacked—for example, a library receiving tapes from transport boxes.
 +
 +The related Empty Container option is broader: it removes all volume assignments from a container when the applicable confirmation occurs
