Export Tags

You can export tags by clicking Export Tags on the File menu. The Export File Selection dialog box appears.

Enter the name of the file to which the Foxboro DCS Linker configuration data is to be written. The filename must include a complete path name. The default location of this file is the current configuration (config_A) directory. The file format is comma-separated variable (csv). If the specified file exists, a message appears, prompting you to overwrite the file.

The tag list is not filtered. The exported file contains an exact image of the configuration Foxboro DCS Linker (CfgIALinkDB) database. You can modify the tag configuration information as a spreadsheet, text file, and so on.

Note: Do not add tags to, or remove tags from, the exported file. If you delete tags from the file and then import the file, none of the tags that you deleted from the file are deleted from the configuration link database. Any changes that you made, however, result in the modification of the link database. If you add tags to the file and then perform an import, the additional tags are ignored since they do not currently exist in the database.
