-The [[object:repository|Repository]] Option ''Highwater Offset'' lowers the [[concepts:slot|Slot]] allocation below the total number of [[concepts:slot|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 [[concepts:slot|Slots]] to this Repository is 500, setting the ''Highwater Offset'' to 100 will stop TMSS10SlotAllocation assigning any Volumes above [[concepts:slot|Slot]]400 (ie 500 total [[concepts:slot|Slots]] - 100 ''Highwater Offset'' [[concepts:slot|Slots]] = 400 assignable [[concepts:slot|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.

 +For example if the total allocation of [[concepts:slot|Slots]] to this [[object:repository|Repository]] is 500, setting the ''[[master:adjusting_slot_allocation|Highwater Offset]]'' to 100 will stop [[cli:tmss10slotallocation|TMSS10SlotAllocation]] assigning any Volumes above [[concepts:slot|Slot]] 400 (ie 500 total [[concepts:slot|Slots]] - 100 ''[[master:adjusting_slot_allocation|Highwater Offset]]'' [[concepts:slot|Slots]] = 400 assignable [[concepts:slot|Slots]] (1 to 400)).
