Add tags in the Database pane

Tagging is integrated into the Station Manager and Point Manager views to make it easier to tag editable stations or points that are in the Database pane.

  • Device Manager or Point Manager view is active with Tag Mode selected.

  • Points or devices are listed in the Database pane.

Tagging objects that are in the Database pane of a manager view is a convenient way to add metadata to your points or devices. This task only describes how to add tags, it does not describe point or device fields that may be edited from the manager view.
  1. From the Point or Station Manager view, in the Tag Dictionary pane, select the desired tag dictionary.
  2. Select one or more objects in the Database pane.
  3. In the Tag Dictionary Pane, select one or more tags to add and click the TagIt button.
    Depending on the type of tag you are adding, one of the following happens:

    • If one or more tags have a value field, an Tags Edit dialog box opens and displays all fields.

    • If no tags have value fields, a Tags Added dialog box displays a confirmation message indicating how many tags are added.

  4. Depending on the type of tags you have added, do one of the following:
    OptionDescription
    Edit tag values and click OK in the Tags Edit dialog box.

    If this dialog box displays, then you have tag values to edit. Edit the value fields and click OK.

    Click OK in the Tags Added dialog box.

    If this dialog box displays, no tag values are available. Click OK.
