Renaming a Tag

About this task

Renaming a tag creates an alias for the tag. Only the name changes; none of the tag's properties are changed. The tag data can be referred to using any alias for that tag, including the current name. Renaming a tag does not increase the tag count.

Procedure

Double-click the Tag link in the Tag Details screen.
The tag name becomes editable.
Enter a new tag name and press the Enter key.

What to do next

If you are connecting to Historian 3.5 collectors, then you must restart the respective collectors before browsing the tags.
