Section 4.4
Project Tags

The project tags were created to simplify the configuration of the module as well as
reduce confusion related to using only the module local tags. The tags defined in the
sample project utilize the user defined data types described in the previous section.

The tags from the controller scope should be copied to your project before the tags
contained in the individual program sections. Open the controller tags on the sample
project and select the edit tags mode. Grab the tags you want to copy by using the left
mouse button and dragging. See figure below.
