-The [[object:repository|Repository]] Option ''Highwater Offset'' lowers the Slot allocation below the total number of Slots currently allocated to this Repository.+The [[object:repository|Repository]] Option ''[[master:adjusting_slot_allocation|Highwater Offset]]'' lowers the [[concepts:slot|Slot]] allocation below the total number of [[concepts:slot|Slots]] currently allocated to this [[object:repository|Repository]].
  
-For example if the total allocation of Slots to this Repository is 500, setting the ''Highwater Offset'' to 100 will stop TMSS10SlotAllocation assigning any Volumes above Slot 400 (ie 500 total Slots - 100 ''Highwater Offset'' Slots = 400 assignable Slots (1 to 400)).+The main purpose of this function is to automatically move any Volumes assigned to any Slots above the highwater mark to be placed in a move to the available empty Slots below the highwater mark.
