Tag Dictionary Manager view
Tag Dictionary Manager, the default view for the Tag Dictionary Service, lists all tag dictionaries installed on the station and their versions. The view provides functionality for creating, editing, importing/exporting tag dictionaries; and indicates the presence direct tags that could be replaced with a TagGroup relation.
Buttons
New — allows you to create a new smart tag dictionary, which you can then export to a .CSV file for editing.
Edit — at the bottom of the view allows you to change the tag dictionary properties: Name, Namespace, and Enabled status.
Import and Export — allow you to import or export tag dictionaries in a standard .CSV file format. You can edit an exported tag dictionary in any CSV-compatible spreadsheet program (either online or offline) to add or remove tag definitions, tag groups definitions, relation definitions, as well as validity rules. Afterwards, you may import the edited .CSV file, thereby updating the existing tag dictionary.
— examines the station component tree looking for individual direct tags on a component that match a TagGroup defined in an installed tag dictionary. If any are found, a window opens listing the component, collection of direct tags, matching TagGroup and an indication if the component is contained in a deployed template. Also shown are two columns, Convert and RemoveTags.
If the Convert column is checked, the direct tags will be replaced with a TagGroup relation. When Convert is selected RemoveTags is automatically be selected. If the Convert is not selected but RemoveTags is, the tag collection will be removed from the component without converting to a TagGroup relation. This is to handle the case where a collection of tags can map to multiple TagGroups with some being subsets of others. If neither Convert or RemoveTags is selected, no action is taken.
Make Convert and RemoveTag selections in the presented table and when you click OK, the selected Conversions and TagRemovals occur.
