New List

A list datasheet returns a list of the tags in a selected datasource.

You create a list datasheet in the same way as other datasheets but, additionally, select List Datasheet from the list in the toolbar of the Datasheet template editor, in the Configuration module.

Use the List Datasheet Selection Form window in the Engineer module to create a datasheet from a list datasheet template. For list datasheets, you do not need to select a particular row in the grid.

Open a grid in the Grid Explorer and select Datasheet>New List in the Datasheets group on the toolbar.

Select a list datasheet and specify a name for the new datasheet. The data source of the grid must be the same as the data source on which the list template is based.

To create a list datasheet instance that includes only the filtered grid items, select Apply filter from current grid. The checkbox is only enabled if filters are applied on the current grid, and the grid and the selected datasheet template have the same data source. If the data source is a database view set, the checkbox is only enabled if the grid is related to the primary database view.

If a list datasheet is open, and it was created with the Apply filter from current grid option, then the datasheet is updated with any new tags that you create which meet the existing filter criteria. This includes tags that are copied or duplicated.
