Using Sift Sort
The Sift/Sort/Export functionality is to facilitate bulk movement of
cartridges from their standard slot locations to either specific storage
area within the library or the I/E station (the default setting will be the
left upper storage area within the library).
The default mode of operation is to relocate cartridges in sort order
within the library, based on slot number or other logical grouping. This
sort function helps you to quickly locate like-cartridge ID’s, view all
daily/weekly/monthly tapes easily (if a barcode nomenclature is
implemented)
