Perform a Simple Export

For a simple export, you cannot filter the tag list. The exported file contains an exact image of the configuration Tag Linker database (CfgLinkDB). After you export the file, you can modify the tag configuration information. Modifications to the file affect only the configuration of the tags in the CfgLinkDB based on the changes you made to the exported file.

You should not add tags to or remove tags from the exported file. If you delete tags from the file and then import the tags, the configuration of those tags within the configuration link database is not modified. If you add tags to the file and then import, the additional tags are ignored because they do not already exist in the database.

The default file location is the current configuration (config_A) folder. The file format is comma-separated variable (.csv).

To perform a simple tag export

1. On the File menu, click Export.

   The Export File Selection dialog box appears.

   

2. In the File box, type the name of a file to which all Tag Linker configuration data is to be written. The name must include the complete patch and the .csv extension.

3. Click OK. If the specified file exists, you are prompted to overwrite it.
