   * ''False'': Does not empty Container on Confirmation.
+Empty Container automatically removes all volumes from a container when that container is confirmed at the repository.
+Example:
+  * Container BOX001 contains 20 tapes.
+  * BOX001 is moved and confirmed at repository LIBR.
+  * LIBR has Empty Container = True.
+  * All 20 tapes are de-assigned from BOX001.
+  * The container remains in TapeTrack but is now empty.
+^Option	^Effect^
+|De-Assign From Container	|Removes an individual confirmed volume from its container|
+|Empty Container	|Removes every volume assigned to the affected container|
+It does not:
+  * Delete the container.
+  * Delete or move the tapes.
+  * Remove other information recorded against the tapes.
+  * Take effect merely because a move was created; it applies during confirmation.
+This is useful at destinations where an entire transport box or container is unpacked on arrival. Leave it disabled where tapes should remain logically associated with their container after confirmation.
