Substitution parameters in data references

Substitution parameters are variables that you place in attribute templates for data references such as PI point, String Builder, and URI Builder. PI AF resolves the substitution parameters when it creates the data reference for an attribute based on that template. For example, you can use substitution parameters:

• To configure a PI point data reference template to use names for tags based on element names built from that template.

• To use the value of a different attribute in the configuration of a PI point property value.
