This modification alters the way TapeMaster and/or Lite display the slotted volumes location. it is also a local modification, which means it only affects the local installation of TapeMaster and Lite, so will need to be executed on all local machines you want to alter the display on.

As it is a local modification it has no effect on the data stored in the database.

Open TMSSMaster.cfg in a plain text editor such as Notepad. TMSSMaster.cfg can be found in the TapeTrack/TapeMaster install directory (default C:\Program Files\TapeTrack\TapeTrack TapeMaster).

Remove comment tags /* & */ from above and below variables.

Change the line of code
TMSSLEVELNAMES = “A,B,C”;
to
TMSSNOLEVELSLOT = “true”;

and save file
