 <note important>You must have enough empty [[concepts:slot|Slots]] under the highwater mark to accommodate any [[object:volume|Volumes]] currently slotted above the mark.</note>
-To remove these [[object:volume|Volumes]] from the occupied [[concepts:slot|Slots]]:
+To remove these [[object:volume|Volumes]] from the occupied [[concepts:slot|Slots]], right click the required [[object:repository|Repository]] and select ''Properties'', or double click the [[object:repository|Repository]] , and click on the ''Options'' tab.
-  * Right click the required [[object:repository|Repository]] and select ''Properties'', or double click the [[object:repository|Repository]] , and click on the ''Options'' tab.

-  * Set ''Highwater Offset'' to the number you wish to lower [[concepts:slot|Slot]] allocation by.  For example if you currently have 3000 [[concepts:slot|Slots]] allocated and wish to reduce the allocation to 1000 [[concepts:slot|Slots]] set the highwater offset to 2000 (3000 - 2000).
+Select the ''Options'' tab from the Repository Properties.

+Set ''Highwater Offset'' to the number you wish to lower [[concepts:slot|Slot]] allocation by.  For example if you currently have 100 [[concepts:slot|Slots]] allocated and wish to reduce the allocation to 60 [[concepts:slot|Slots]] set the highwater offset to 40 (100 - 60).
-  * Run the slotting program [[:cli:tmss10slotallocation|TMSS10SlotAllocation]] to re-slot any [[object:volume|Volumes]] above the highwater mark.
+{{set_highwater_value.gif}}
-  * Decrease the [[:master:repository_assign_zone|slot allocation]].
-{{tapemaster_slot_range.png}}
+Run the slotting program [[:cli:tmss10slotallocation|TMSS10SlotAllocation]] to re-slot any [[object:volume|Volumes]] above the highwater mark.  If you have Slotting scheduled you can let the program execute on the schedule, or manually run it if required.
-  * Adjust the **Highwater Offset** back to zero to enable use of all allocated [[concepts:slot|Slots]].
+Click in the Inventory window of TapeMaster and Press ''F5'' to refresh the display, any Volumes Slotted above the Highwater Offset will now be in a move to a lower Slot.

+Right click the required [[object:repository|Repository]] and select ''Properties'', or double click the [[object:repository|Repository]] , and select the ''Options'' tab.
+Adjust the **Highwater Offset** back to zero to enable use of all allocated [[concepts:slot|Slots]] and click ''Save'' to update the information.  This is important to do before adjusting the Slot allocation on the Zone. If you have TMSS10SlotAllocation scheduled at close intervals, otherwise the next time Slotting runs it will adjust the Volumes below the Highwater offset again.  In this example it would try to lower Volumes to Slots 1 to 20 (eg 60 Slots - the 40 Highwater Offset)

+Right click the required [[object:repository|Repository]] and select ''Properties'', or double click the [[object:repository|Repository]] , and select the ''Zones'' tab.
+Right click on the Zone Index and select ''Properties'' (or double click) on the required Zone to open the ''Edit Range Information'' window.
+{{open_zone_properties.gif}}
+Using the slider adjust the Slot allocation (or enter number in the ''Allocation:End'' field) to the desired Slot number to decrease the [[:master:repository_assign_zone|slot allocation]].

+Click ''OK'' on the ''Edit Range Information'' window to close once the correct Slot allocation data is entered.
+Click ''Save'' on the '"Edit Repository'' window to commit the new Slot allocation data.
