 TapeTrack uses a Slotting system that can track which Slot a Volume is in for picking, track what Slot you are placing a Volume in while packing, or automatically assign Slots for your Volumes based on several different algorithms including first available and intellislot.

 For the ProMedia cabinets, each drawer is divided into 6 rows, each of these are numbered accordingly 1 to 6 in each Zone (drawer).  Storage such as GemTrac racks would be divided into shelves as the drawers are vertical, but the concept is the same.

+===== No Slots =====
+If you use storage, such as a small fire safe, that has shelves but no dedicated Slots TapeTrack can be configured to show you the Zone and shelf but not the Slot.  This allows you to place Volumes on the shelves but not worry about balancing them in a Slot location.  TapeTrack would display, as an example, Red 3, which translates as the Red fire safe, 3rd shelf.

+On the racking, it would translate the same, Red racking, third shelf but no Slot number.

-Using a GemTrac rack as an example, TapeTrack would represent the Second GemTrac drawer (Zone-ID Red-2), 3rd shelf from the top 4th Slot across as **Red-2 3.4**.  Labelling your racking using the correct method allows the operator to quickly locate the Volume knowing which drawer to open and which shelf and Slot it is on, as opposed having to mentally calculate which drawer and shelf Slot 424 is in.  The more storage racks you use the more difficult this calculation process gets, eg where is Slot 5314, TapeTrack representation (when configured correctly) would display which Zone, shelf and Slot the Volume is in.
