 ==== Masking the Slot ====
-The display in [[desktop:master|TapeTrack TapeMaster]] and [[desktop:lite|TapeTrack Lite]] can be modified to mask the Slot number of the [[object:volume|Volumes]], displaying [[object:zone|Zone]] and Shelf only.  This can be useful storing [[object:volume|Volumes]] in drawers with a limited number of Slots, allowing librarians to Slot the [[object:volume|Volumes]] quickly in a [[object:zone|Zones]] shelf location without needing to adhere to a Slot Number.
+The display in [[desktop:master|TapeMaster]] and [[desktop:lite|Lite]] can be modified to [[technote:config_file|Mask]] the [[concepts:slot|Slot]] number of the [[object:volume|Volumes]], displaying [[object:zone|Zone]] and Shelf only.  This can be useful storing [[object:volume|Volumes]] in drawers without dedicated [[concepts:slot|Slots]], allowing librarians to [[concepts:slot|Slot]] the [[object:volume|Volumes]] quickly in a [[object:zone|Zones]] shelf location where [[master:slotting|Slotting]] order is not required.

 ==== Changing The Level ====
-When creating (or editing) a storage [[object:zone|Zone]] for [[object:volume|Volumes]] you have the ability to specify not only the number of Slots but the number of Slots per level or Shelf.  This enables TapeTrack to display the location of a [[object:volume|Volume]] by [[object:zone|Zone]], Shelf and Slot number.

 If you prefer Shelf levels to be displayed alphabetically, or any other string values, this can be achieved via the desktop software configuration file.
