 ====== Scan To Slot Via Special Operations Slot Allocation ======
-To use the Allocate to Slot via the Special Operations menu, the selected Volumes must be either moving to or confirmed in a Repository with allocated Zones.
+To use the Allocate to [[concepts:slot|Slot]] via the Special Operations menu, the selected [[object:volume|Volumes]] must be either moving to or confirmed in a [[object:repository|Repository]] with allocated [[object:repository|Repository]].
-While this process can be used any number of Volumes, you can only select a Slot for one Volume at a time.  To Slot multiple Volumes more efficiently see [[technote:scan_to_assign_usage_map|Scan to assign using Repository Usage Map]].
+While this process can be used any number of [[object:volume|Volumes]], you can only select a [[concepts:slot|Slot]] for one [[object:volume|Volume]] at a time so this process is best suited to one or low number of [[object:volume|Volumes]].  To [[concepts:slot|Slot]] multiple [[object:volume|Volumes]] more efficiently see [[technote:scan_to_assign_usage_map|Scan to assign using Repository Usage Map]].
 ===== Select Volumes To Slot =====
+Select [[object:volume|Volumes]] from the Inventory window by clicking on one [[object:volume|Volume]] or using Shift+Click and Ctrl+Click to select a range of [[object:volume|Volumes]].
+{{master_select_volumes.gif}}
 ===== Select Slots =====
+Right click highlighted [[object:volume|Volumes]] and select ''Special Operations'' > ''Slots'' > ''Allocate To Slot''
+{{master_special_slots_allocate.gif}}
+The [[concepts:slot|Slot]] Selection window will display the Current [[object:repository|Repository]] the [[object:volume|Volume]] is being Slotted in and the [[object:volume|Volume-ID]] currently being allocated in the top header.  The main window will display [[concepts:slot|Slot]] numbers, [[object:zone|Zones]], [[concepts:slot|Slot]] Location, [[object:volume|Volume-ID]] if [[concepts:slot|Slot]] is occupied.
+To allocate the current [[object:volume|Volume]] to a [[concepts:slot|Slot]], click on an empty or unallocated [[concepts:slot|Slot]] and then click ''OK''.  If you have only one [[object:volume|Volume]] to Slot, the window will close.  If you have multiple [[object:volume|Volumes]] to Slot the window will refresh to show the next [[object:volume|Volume-ID]] in the top header, following the same process for each [[object:volume|Volume]], select a [[concepts:slot|Slot]] and press ''OK''.

 ===== Refresh Display =====
+Click in the Inventory window in TapeMaster and press F5 to update the display.  The Scanned [[object:volume|Volumes]] will now show in a move to the allocated [[concepts:slot|Slots]].
