Modify tag properties

You can modify the properties of a tag in Tag Viewer. You can modify the properties of a tag only if the dotfield is marked as Read/Write or Write Only. You cannot modify any tag if you are running WindowViewer on a read-only license.

You will be asked to re-authenticate yourself if you try to modify the following:

• An indirect tag that is pointing to a Galaxy attribute, which is configured with Secured Write.

• An indirect tag that is pointing to a Galaxy attribute, which is configured with Verified Write. In this case, you must provide the log on details of the additional user too.
