Updating Brick tag dictionary

You can update the Brick tag dictionary version outside of the official Niagara release schedule. When the Brick consortium releases a new version of the ontology, Tridium will generate a new version of the Brick tag dictionary as a JSON file and make it available for customers. The Niagara Brick tag dictionary supports the most recent version of the ontology with each Niagara release.

The Brick tag dictionary is installed on the station.
  1. In the Workbench Nav tree panel, locate the JSON file and copy it to the station by dragging it to the station’s Files container.


  2. To load the file into a Brick tag dictionary on a station, from the view selector open the AX Slot Sheet view on the Brick tag dictionary in the TagDictionaryService, right-click on the importDictionary action row and select Config Flags.


  3. Unselect the Hidden flag for the importDictionary action, and click OK.


  4. Navigate back to the Tag Dictionary Manager view on the TagDictionaryService, and on the Brick tag dictionary, right-click and select Actions > Import Dictionary.


    The Import Dictionary window opens.
  5. Click the down-arrow next to the folder icon and select File Ord Chooser.


    The File Chooser window opens.

  6. From the File Chooser > Files on Station, select the JSON file already copied to the station and click Open.
    The Brick tag dictionary import process runs as a job on the station. You can view the results of the import process by opening the Job Service Manager on the station’s Job Service and clicking the double arrow icon on the right side of the Tag Dictionary Import row.
