Other ways to create Supertags

You can also create Supertags using the following methods:

• In the Animation link expression input box

• Within InTouch QuickScripts.

• In an external file that you load into an application with the InTouch DBLoad utility

  Note: When you use an alternative method to create the member, the Supertags configuration screen does not show the member in the Supertag template definition.

When you create a Supertag through an animation expression or InTouch QuickScript, you must use the valid Supertag format. For example:

Note: If the Supertag instance and member tag you specify in an animation expression or QuickScript are not currently defined, you are prompted to define the tag. Select OK. The Tagname Dictionary appears and shows the Supertag instance and member tag that you created.

The following syntax examples are valid:

ParentInstance\ChildMember ParentInstance\ChildMember\Submember

The following syntax examples are not valid:

ParentInstance\

ParentInstance\ChildMember\

If an invalid format is used, an error message box indicates the Supertag syntax contains an error.
