The Tag Browse Tree component is similar to the Tag Browser in the Designer, allowing Tags to be browsed in both the Designer and the Client, and dragged on to other components like the Easy Chart. Unlike the Tag Browser, Tags can not be edited, Tag properties can not be displayed, and UDT definitions can not be displayed. Tags in the component can be refreshed through scripting by calling refresh().

Root Node Path

The path of the root of this tree structure, or "" if no selection. When intentionally setting the root node, the exact syntax changes depending on what the Tag Tree Mode property is set to:

Realtime Tag Tree: [TagProvider]FolderPath/

The example below is using the "default" Tag provider, and a folder named "machine_1"

Example
[default]machine_1/


Historical Tag Tree: [HistoricalProvider:/:GatewayName:TagProvider]FolderPath/

The example below is using a historical provider named "DB", the system name of the Gateway is "ignition", the Tag provider is "default" and will set the path to a folder named "machine_1"

Example
[DB:/:ignition:default]machine_1/

This feature was changed in Ignition version 8.1.10:

As of 8.1.10, the historical tag tree mode also accepts the following formats:
