The Tag Report Tool allows users to search for tags by multiple criteria, including Tag Path, Quality, Type, Traits, and values on specific Properties. 


The Tag Report Tool is accessible through the More Options  menu on the Tag Browser. Select the Tag Provider you wish to search, then click the icon and select Tag Report Tool to begin configuring your report.

Note: The Tag Report Tool can only search within one Tag Provider at a time. To search within a different Tag Provider, exit the Tag Report Tool and select a new Tag Provider from the drop-down menu.

Configure, Save, and Copy Reports

Save your query as a Saved Report to easily repeat searches with complex criteria. Saved reports are accessible to all users and all designers on the same Gateway, and can be reused to generate reports for different Tag Providers.

You can also Copy a report as either a JSON object or as a script. Copying a report as a JSON object allows you to Paste  the same query into the Tag Report Tool on a separate Gateway. Copying a report as a Script will allow you to paste a system.tag.query() script anywhere in Ignition where scripting can be used.
