Prerequisites: Device Manager or Point Manager view is active with Tag Mode selected. Points or devices are discovered and listed in the Discovered pane.
Tagging during discovery is optional but it is a convenient way to add metadata as you add points or devices. This task describes
how to add tags only. It does not describe all point or device fields that need to be reviewed or edited during an add process.
Perform the following steps:
- From the Point Manager or Station Manager view, in the Tag Dictionary pane, select the desired tag dictionary.
- Select one or more discovered objects in the Discovered pane.
- In the Tag Dictionary pane, select one or more tags to add and click Add.
- In the Add dialog box, check that the appropriate tags are added (table in top pane) and add values to any tags that have editable fields.
- Click OK and verify that your tags appear with the desired objects in the Database pane.
Devices or points are added to the station with tags.
