+===== De-Assign From Container Options =====
+  * ''True'': Removes [[object:volume|Volume]] from its' assigned Container.
+  * ''False'': Does not remove [[object:volume|Volume]] from its' assigned Container.
+De-Assign From Container automatically removes a volume from its container when the volume is confirmed into the repository.
+Example:
+  * Tape 000123L8 is assigned to container BOX001.
+  * The tape is moved to repository LIBR.
+  * LIBR has De-Assign From Container = True.
+  * When the tape is confirmed at LIBR, its assignment to BOX001 is removed.
+^Setting	^When the volume is confirmed^
+|False	|The volume remains assigned to its container|
+|True	|The volume is removed from its container|
+Important distinctions:
+  * It takes effect when the volume is confirmed, not merely placed into a move.
+  * It de-assigns the confirmed volume; it does not automatically empty every other tape from that container.
+  * It does not delete the container.
+  * It does not move the container or its other contents.
+This is useful for a destination where tapes are routinely unpacked—for example, a library receiving tapes from transport boxes.
+The related Empty Container option is broader: it removes all volume assignments from a container when the applicable confirmation occurs
