Viewing implied tags using Spy view
Implied tags and implied relations are automatically assigned to objects by rules in the installed Smart Tag Dictionaries. The implied tags and implied relations do not appear in the Property Sheet view or other more commonly used views. Spy view shows all of the direct and implied tags and relations on an object as well as other detailed data. Although intended
to be used for diagnostic purposes, you can use Spy view to identify implied tags and/or relations already assigned to a component. This can be useful when developing hierarchies.
Once identified, you can then create queries for those tags/relations in your hierarchy definition.
Prerequisites:
- You are connected to your station.
- One or more installed tag dictionaries. If necessary, add required tag dictionaries to the TagDictionaryService.
NOTE: If tagging offline, it is possible that no dictionaries are available. In that situation the system searches for tag dictionaries in alternate locations.
This procedure describes how to open the Spy view on a station component to see its implied tags:
NOTE: Invoking the Edit Tags window is another method for viewing the direct and implied tags assigned to a component.
Perform the following steps:
- In the Nav tree, right-click the component of interest and click from the popup menu.Spy information displays in the Web Browser View.
- Scroll down to Tags Implied.The implied tags assigned to the selected component are listed. Scroll up or down to view all of the tags and relations assigned to the component.
The Spy view pictured here lists the different types of tags and relations assigned to the AHU_2 component.
