Configuring the Haystack dictionary to auto-import modifications

Set the Haystack dictionary’s Tags Import File and Equip Import File properties to reference your modified tagsMerge.csv and equipMerge.csv files and import the changes when you invoke the Haystack dictionary’s Import Dictionary action.

  • The Haystack tag dictionary is installed in the station.

  • You have already created the Tags Import File and Equip Import File and modified the files as needed.

  • The modified import files are copied to the target station’s file space.

  1. Open a Property Sheet view on the a Haystack dictionary.
  2. In the Tags Import File field, enter the file Ord for your tagsMerge.csv file (use the Browse icon to locate and select to the file).
  3. In the Equip Import File field, enter the file Ord for your equipMerge.csv file.
  4. Click Save
The next time you invoke the Haystack dictionary’s Import Dictionary action it loads the changes described in the tagsMerge.csv and equipMerge.csv files.
Note: To use these import files, you must always specify a Tags Import File that contains a specified version number even if there are no tags to be modified. If no modifications are made to equipment tagGroups, then the Equip Import File is optional.
Note: When editing tagsMerge.csv or equipMerge.csv, you must include the version row (in tagsMerge.csv). Otherwise, your changes will not be recognized and imported to the dictionary.
