Create a tag

You can use the Tag Browser to create a tag.

To create a tag

  1. Right-click in the Contents pane and select New HMI Tag.
  2. Fill in the tag details in the Tag editor.
  3. Click OK to save the tag to the tag database.
  4. Click OK in the Tags dialog box to return to the editor you were working in.

    Tip:

    If the tag is to be in a folder, the folder must already exist. You can open the New Folder dialog box from the Tag Browser by right-clicking in the left pane and selecting New HMI Tag Folder.

    To specify a tag in a folder, type the folder name as part of the tag name. For example, to add a tag named pump1 to the folder named NE_Corner, you would type NE_Corner\pump1 as the tag name.
