Delete a Tag

Before you begin

If the tag that you want to delete is associated with a variable in a Historian model, remove the mapping between the variable and the tag.

About this task

When you delete a tag, it is deleted from Historian, and the tag data will no longer be available. If, however, you want the tag data to be available, instead of deleting the tag, remove it from the system. Or, you can choose to stop the data collection for the tag, which allows you to resume the data collection later.

Procedure

  1. Access Configuration Hub.
  2. If you want to access all tags, in the NAVIGATION section, select Tags.
    A list of all the tags appears.
  3. If you want to narrow down the search results, select Search.

    Enter the search criteria, and then select Search. You can add more attributes by selecting Add Attribute. You can enter a name or a value partially or use the wildcard character asterisk (*).
    The list of tags are filtered based on the search criteria.
  4. Right-click the tag that you want to delete (or select ), and then select Delete.

    A message appears, asking you to confirm that you want to delete the tag.
  5. Select Delete.
    The tag is deleted.
