Reference a tag property instead of a project tag

You can use special syntax to reference a tag property in the same way that you reference a project tag.

Anywhere in your project that you would normally reference a project tag — for example, when you configure a tag/expression to control the visibility of a screen object — you can reference a tag property instead, using the following syntax:

tagname->property

Examples:

MyInteger->Quality

MyReal->HiHi

MyClass.FirstMember->MemberName

MyArray[1]->Index

This works everywhere in AVEVA Edge, including in VBScript and in function parameters, and it can be used to both get and set the values of tag properties.

Tip: When tag properties are referenced like this, they are also known as tag fields.

To get the correct spelling of property names, as well as some property-specific limitations, see Complete list of tag properties.
