Shared Database folder

The Shared Database folder shows the tags that you have added to your project through tag integration.

The folder is located on the Global tab of the Project Explorer. It provides both a Datasheet View and a Tags List similar to the Project Tags folder, but you cannot use them to edit the properties of integrated tags. You can only read and write actual tag values during run time. If you want to edit the properties of integrated tags, you must use the appropriate programming software to do it on the source device(s).

Integrated tags are automatically and continuously updated as long as the project runtime server remains connected to the source device(s). You can use these tags the same as you would use normal project tags that you created in AVEVA Edge; it is not necessary to configure an OPC or Driver worksheet that associates project tags with device registers.

The Shared Database folder only shows the integrated tags that you have already added to your project. If you have not set up any tag integration sources and then used the Object Finder to select specific tags, the folder will be empty.

For more information, see Tag Integration.
