Note: Prior to
performing any maintenance, it is recommended to adhere to the accepted
practice of performing a backup of your Historian archive. It is also
recommended that you use the Excel Add-In to export your tag configuration
for all tags. It is recommended that you export tags associated with each
collector on a separate worksheet.
If you want to change the default tag properties, select the name of the
tag.
Enter the properties of the tag in the appropriate fields.

tags. Changing the collector type for the Calculation and Server-to-Server
tags will result in a loss of the calculation formula.
