Copy tag definitions

You can use an existing tag definition as the basis for additional tag definitions.

To copy a tag definition

1. In the Operations Control Management Console, expand a server group and then expand a server.

2. Expand Configuration Editor, expand System Configuration, and then expand Tag Configuration.

3. Select the appropriate tag type folder (for example, Analog Tags) so that the list of available tags appears in the details pane.

4. Perform any of the following:

   • Right-click the tag to copy in the details pane and click Copy. Then, right-click the tag type folder and click Paste.

   • Select the tag to copy and then drag it onto the tag type folder.

     The new tag wizard appears with the definition options of the copied tag set as defaults. The name of the new tag is the name of the copied tag, appended with a number. For example, "MyTag2."

5. Use the wizard to change any of the options for the new tag.

   • To change an analog tag, see Add an analog tag.

   • To change a discrete tag, see Add a discrete tag.

   • To change a string tag, see Add a string tag.

   • To change an event tag, see Add an event tag.
