Starting in AX-3.7, Niagara virtual components use a “simplified”, shorter ord syntax, where an example ord may look similar to:

Formerly, ords for Niagara virtuals included encoded data about facets and config flags of the target slot. Now this “extra information” is stored in a “virtual cache” of the parent NiagaraNetwork’s “Virtual Policies” container. For related details, see Niagara virtuals cache (Virtual Policies).

Note that because “virtual of virtuals” are now supported, the ord for a Niagara virtual may include the slot path of two or more virtual gateways. For example:

includes a slot path through the “Bacnet virtual gateway” of BacnetDevice “J4_R2c_99” to the Present_Value property of a BACnet Binary Input object.
