+===== Scanning Volumes =====
+In the ''Scan'' window, scan the [[object:volume|Volumes]], using your preferred [[desktop:scan_window| scanning method]] (Keyboard, Scanner, Clipboard, Input File).  In this example we will use [[object:volume|Volume-ID's]] copied to Windows Clipboard. When finished scanning, click the ''X'' at the top right to close the Scan window.
+If you selected the exact number of [[concepts:slot|Slots]] required, or if you under selected, you will receive a popup stating ''No Remaining Slots'' to inform you have no more vacant [[concepts:slot|Slots]] selected.  If you need more [[concepts:slot|Slots]] close the ''Scan'' window, select more [[concepts:slot|Slots]] and then right click and select ''Scan'' > ''Scan to Assign'' to re-open the Scan window.
+Scanned [[object:volume|Volumes]] will show with a black font for current Inventory and greyed out font if they are new [[object:volume|Volume-ID's]] (ie. don't currently exist in TapeTrack.  New [[object:volume|Volume-ID's]] will be added to your default [[object:repository|Repository]] and placed into a move to the [[object:repository|Repository]], [[object:zone|Zone]] and selected [[concepts:slot|Slot]].  [[object:volume|Volumes]] in another [[object:repository|Repository]] will be placed in a move from their Current location to the [[object:repository|Repository]], [[object:zone|Zone]] and selected [[concepts:slot|Slot]].  [[object:volume|Volumes]] in the selected [[object:repository|Repository]] for Slotting will be left in the Current location but will be placed in a move to the [[object:zone|Zone]] and selected [[concepts:slot|Slot]].

To commit the data, right click on the highlighted [[concepts:slot|Slots]] and select ''Apply Updates'' to confirm the new [[concepts:slot|Slot]] allocations.  The status of the [[object:volume|Volumes]]  will now display ''Reserved''.
