Tag Editor

The Tag Editor is a robust interface that contains all the properties that can be configured for tags. In the Tag Editor, you set the tag's name, value, numeric and meta data properties, security, alarming, history, and more. For information an explanation on all possible tag configurations, see Tag Properties.

Diagnostics, Documentation, and Refresh icons are included on the upper right-hand side of the Tag Editor to access more tag information:

• The Diagnostics icon opens the Tag Diagnostics window.
• The Documentation icon displays a Documentation pane at the bottom of the Tag Editor.
• The Refresh icon refreshes the editor with the current definition of the tag from the Gateway.

The Tag Editor requires fewer clicks and keeps relevant tag information visible while modifying bindings, alarms, and event scripts.

Some features include:

• Expression bindings require opening the dialog to change. Tag and Parameter bindings can be edited in-line within the Tag Editor and are not shortened.
• Sorting in UDT Editor sorts folders first, then tags.
• Users can add tags in the UDT Editor without having to click the root of the UDT/folder.
• UDT Parameters show when they are overridden.
• UDT properties are added in-line to bindings.
• The Expression editor accepts drag and drops from the UDT Editor or Tag Browser.

Tag Diagnostics data is displayed in its own window.
