Importing and Exporting the Tag Library

This feature allows tags from the tag library to be saved into a .tgl file format. Once saved, the file can be loaded into

another project.

To save the tag library:

1. Click on Save Tag File... The Open dialog box appears.

2. Enter the name of the file where you wish to save the data.

3. Click Open.

To load the Tag Library from an existing .tgl file:

1. Click on the Load Tag File...The Open dialog box appears.

2. Browse for the .tgl file that contains the tags.

3. Click Open.

The .tgl file format cannot be edited.

The tag library can also be imported and exported using a comma-separated variable (.csv) file format or Excel (.xls)

file format. These formats are very useful if you need to make several changes to the database; or, if creating a new

project, it is easier and faster to create and edit the tags in a .csv or .xls file.
