 When left blank, [[object:volume|Volumes]] with any allowable characters can be added to this [[object:repository|Repository]].  [[general:pattern_matching|Filters]] can be added to force all new [[object:volume|Volumes]] added to conform to certain criteria. \\
   Adding ??????L? will force all new [[object:volume|Volumes]] to have 8 characters including an L in the 7th position.
