Exporting a tag dictionary

You would export a custom tag dictionary to edit it outside of Niagara. You could export any tag dictionary as an example or as a template.

You have a license to use tags and have installed the TagDictionaryService under the Services folder. You have an online or offline connection to an open Station.
  1. To open the Tag Dictionary Manager view, double-click the TagDictionaryService in the Nav tree or use the right-click menu to open this view.
    The Tag Dictionary Manager view opens.
  2. Select a tag dictionary and click Export.
    The File Chooser window opens.

  3. Select a location to save the file, enter the desired file name (as shown), and click Save.
    A Results message confirms the export.

The exported structured tag dictionary is empty at this point. You can edit the file, as well as use it as a template to develop additional tag dictionaries.

Note: You can also export the Niagara and Haystack dictionaries to use as examples.
