TapeTrack has a Volume-ID limit of 10 characters in length. Any volumes with an ID longer than 10 characters must be modified to fit within this criteria.

There are several ways in which can be achieved, such as truncation, translation or hashing.

Truncating a barcode, or volume-ID, involves trimming off the start or end down to 10 or fewer characters.

Translating a barcode, or volume-ID, involves swapping a recognisable pattern for an alternate value within the 10 character limit.

Hashing a barcode, or volume-ID, involves replacing the barcode with its 8 character hashed value, preceded by the value #- to allow identification.
