 +Empty Container automatically removes all volumes from a container when that container is confirmed at the repository.
  
 +Example:
 +  * Container BOX001 contains 20 tapes.
 +  * BOX001 is moved and confirmed at repository LIBR.
 +  * LIBR has Empty Container = True.
 +  * All 20 tapes are de-assigned from BOX001.
 +  * The container remains in TapeTrack but is now empty.
 +
 +^Option ^Effect^
 +|De-Assign From Container |Removes an individual confirmed volume from its container|
 +|Empty Container |Removes every volume assigned to the affected container|
 +
 +It does not:
 +  * Delete the container.
 +  * Delete or move the tapes.
 +  * Remove other information recorded against the tapes.
 +  * Take effect merely because a move was created; it applies during confirmation.
 +
 +This is useful at destinations where an entire transport box or container is unpacked on arrival. Leave it disabled where tapes should remain logically associated with their container after confirmation.
