Converting Placeholder Tags in an Imported Script

When you import or export a QuickFunction to or from your current application, all the tags associated with that QuickFunction are transferred. But, the tags are not added to your new application's Tagname Dictionary. Instead, they are automatically marked as placeholder tags. You must convert these placeholder tags and, if required, define them in your new application Tagname Dictionary.

To convert placeholder tags in an imported script

1. On the Scripts pane, click the type of QuickFunction you imported.

   The QuickFunction script editor appears, showing the first QuickFunction on file for the selected type of script.

   

2. Click Convert. The Convert dialog box appears.

   

3. Convert the tags.

   • Click Local to convert the placeholder tags to local tags. You are prompted to define each tag in the Tagname Dictionary.

   • Click Remote to convert the placeholder tags to remote tag references. The Access Names dialog box appears. Select the Access Name and click Close.

4. After the tags are converted, click OK in the QuickScript editor.
