About the Export Tag Summary Manager

The Export Tag Summary Manager is a secondary view of the SubordinateExportTagNetworkExt in a subordinate (JACE) station. To access this view, right-click the extension and select it from the Views menu, or use the view selector to access it, as shown in Figure 25.

This view lists all export tags currently in the station, with columns providing information on station path as well as Supervisor station slot path, among other things. You can simply double-click any export tag to go directly to its property sheet. There is also an Edit button for making changes to one or more selected export tags, providing access to a few common properties that include “Enable”.

If needed, use this view to selectively “disable” one or more export tags—upon the next Join, this effectively removes corresponding items from the Supervisor. To add these items back, simply re-enable the export tags and issue another Join.

Default columns displayed in the Export Tag Summary Manager include the following:

See the next section Editing export tags in the Summary Manager for more Edit information. Note another button lets you globally set the “Supervisor Station” property value for all export tags. See Specifying the Supervisor station globablly in all export tags.

Editing export tags in the Summary Manager

In the Export Tag Summary Manager, select one or more export tags, and then click the Edit button for a popup dialog, as shown in Figure 26.

Edit dialog for export tags in Export Tag Summary Manager

The following fields are in this dialog:

  • Name

    Of selected export tag, editable only if a single tag selected. If multiple tags are selected, it reflects the first export tag’s name.

  • Enabled

    Enabled property of the selected export tag(s), which can be toggled between true (default) and false. (Possibly the most commonly edited export tag property in this view.)

  • Supervisor Station

    Name of the currently selected Supervisor station (NiagaraStation) in the selected export tag(s).

  • Station Slot Path

    Parent slot name for the exported object on the Supervisor, as configured in the export tag.

    • If multiple tags are selected, you can batch edit the station slot path.

      NoteBatch editing a number of tags for slot:points/AHU1 would only be useful for proxy points being tagged under the AHU1 device in the JACE. However, you could batch edit the tags for all proxy points in the JACE using something like slot:points/%networkFolderPath%.

    • If a single export tag is selected, you can click on open folder, for the Select Parent Target dialog, to select a parent container as saved in the profile.bog file.

Click OK after making any changes in the Edit dialog of the selected export tag(s). Note a subsequent Join is necessary for any changes to occur in the Supervisor station.

Specifying the Supervisor station globablly in all export tags

The Export Tag Summary Manager provides a button at the bottom of the view that you can use to globally assign the “Supervisor Station” property value in all export tags in the station.

When you click the Set All Supervisor Station Names button at the bottom of the view, a confirmation dialog appears (Figure 27).

As shown above, after confirmation (click Yes) another dialog appears. Click the drop-down control for NiagaraStations in the station’s NiagaraNetwork—select the one for the Supervisor. When you click OK, this globally sets the “Supervisor Station” property value in all export tags in the station.

NoteThis command is also a right-click action on the SubordinateExportTagNetworkExt (Set All Supervisor Station Names), which produces the same dialogs as shown in Figure 27 above.
