Add a Tag to a Data Source

To display the Tags screen, click the Tags link in any of the Historian Web Admin Console screens. The Tags screen lets you read and modify all tag parameters for the Historian system. To access information on a specific tag or group of tags, however, you must first search for the tags. You can search for the tags using the Search for Tags button.

You can add tags manually through the tags screen or choose the tags from the listed collectors. Typically, you add tags to Historian by browsing the data source. You can also add tags manually or add tags from the collector by clicking the appropriate link in the second line of the display.

If you add a tag with a tag name greater than 25 characters in length, the characters beyond 25 are not visible in the Tags list on the Tags screen. To see the entire tag name, place the mouse cursor over the tag to see a ToolTip that displays the complete tag name.
