Saving and Printing a Tag Cross-Reference List

You can save your cross reference tag listing to a file and view it with any application that supports the .csv file format.

The cross reference tag listing file lists all tags by name, how they are used in the application, and the name of the window where they are located. You can open the cross reference tag listing file with Excel or any other program that supports .csv files.

You can also print the contents of the Tagname Dictionary. Printing the contents of the Tagname Dictionary shows you database entries used in the application. You can specify the level of detail you want to see.

You can send this report to the printer or save it to a file.

To save a cross-reference file

1. In the Cross Reference Utility dialog box, select Save As. The Save As dialog box appears.
   Specify a name and location for the file.

2. Select Save. The tag usage file is saved in the specified folder.

The tag usage report saved to a .csv file will depend on the following conditions:

• If no search conditions are selected then all records are saved to the .csv files. For example: If the total number of records in the cross reference grid is 1000 and on refining the search, the No. of records reduces to 320. If you use Save As... only the selected 320 records are saved to the .csv file.

• If you have applied a grouping pattern to your records, the .csv will be saved with that grouping pattern.

To print the contents of the Tagname Dictionary

3. Open an InTouch application in WindowMaker.

4. On the quick access toolbar, select Print.

   The WindowMaker Printout dialog box appears.
   

5. Select Database Entries if you want to print tag information from the Tagname Dictionary.

   If you select Database Entries, the following options become active:

   • Select Details to include the details of the tags in your report.

   • Select Alarm Information to include the tag alarm information in your report.

   • Select With Window Cross-Reference to print all Tagname Dictionary entries with window cross-references. If you select this option, specify the level of detail to print.

     Link Details prints the location and animation link details where the tag is used.

     Window Names Only prints only the name of the cross-referenced windows.

6. Select Next. The Select Output Destination dialog box appears.

7. Select the option to print the contents of the Tagname Dictionary or send the output to a text or .html file.
