Alias Search provides a logical tree view of a FactoryTalk Historian
server through the FactoryTalk Historian module Database, which you
can use to select tags by their descriptive aliases.

To search for tags:

1. Click a tab to choose a Basic, Advanced or Alias search.

2. Type the required search criteria and click Search.

Use '*' or '?' as wildcard characters to search for tag names and
attributes. For example, the tag mask Tem* returns all point names
that start with Tem while Tem? returns only points that start with Tem
and end with another single character. All point mask fields are case
insensitive.
