The Tag Browser composes references to tags automatically, using correct syntax.
If the tags you select are in the home area, the Tag Browser automatically uses relative
references. If the tags are not in the home area, the Tag Browser uses absolute references.
Parts of the Tag Browser
To use a tag in a FactoryTalk View SE application, you can type the tag’s name and path,
or you can use the Tag Browser to search for and select the tag.
Opening the Tag Browser
How you open the Tag Browser depends on where you are in FactoryTalk View SE:
 In the Command Wizard, for commands that take tags as parameters, click the
Browse button beside the Tag field.
 In the Tags editor, when creating an HMI device tag, click the Browse button beside
the Address field.
 In the Graphics editor, in the Animation dialog box, click Tag.
 In the Properties dialog box for a graphic object, in the Connections tab, click the
Browse button in the Tag column.
 In the Expression editor, position the cursor where you want to insert the tag name,
and then click Tags.
