Creating the Haystack tagsImportFile and equipImportFile

The Haystack dictionary has a Make Import Files action that can be used to create a tagsMerge.csv file and an equipMerge.csv file. These files are copies of the master tags.csv file from the haystack-rt module.

  • You have an open station connection (local or remote)

  • The Haystack tag dictionary is installed in the station.

  1. In the NavTree navigate to the station’s TagDictionaryService, right-click on the Haystack dictionary and click Actions > Make Import Files.


  2. In the Make Import Files window, click on the Browse icon to open a Directory Chooser window, navigate to the desired location, select the folder to save the files in, and click Choose. In the Make Import Files window, click OK.


    The tagsMerge.csv and equipMerge.csv files are created and saved to the chosen folder in the station file space.
    Note: Optionally, if you invoke the action from the Workbench haystack palette with the local station closed, the Directory Chooser opens on the local PC file system.
