Add tags to a Supertag instance

You can add a tag as a member of an existing Supertag instance using the Tagname Dictionary.

When you add a tag, you enter the exact name of your Supertag instance followed by the backslash (\) delimiter and the name of the new member tag.

For example:

Pump_8\PumpSTS

Note: If you plan to use the Bulk Import Utility to migrate the tags from your InTouch HMI application to Application Server, see Import Supertags with the Bulk Import Utility for more information about substituting the standard backslash delimiter.
