======  Empty Container ======

The [[object:repository|Repository]] Option ''Empty Container'' empties, or purges, the Container contents when the Container is Confirmed into this [[object:repository|Repository]].

{{options:repository:tapemaster_repository_option_empty_container.png}}
===== Empty Container Options =====

  * ''True'': Empties Container on Confirmation.
  * ''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.
