Use the Tag Browser
In the Tag Browser, you can:
 Select a single tag or multiple tags. The ability to select multiple tags is available in
the Data Log Models editor only. In the illustration above, only a single tag can be
selected.
 Select data server tags and HMI tags.
 Select a folder of tags without selecting a specific tag in the folder. This is useful for
applications that use controller instruction faceplates. It is also useful when you use
global object parameters. Folders of tags are also known as backing tags or structured
tags. For information about global object parameters and controller instruction
faceplates, see Chapter 25.
You cannot select backing tags when you open the Tag Browser from the Data Log
Models editor.
