Tag Substitution

You can use tag substitution to replace tag names or character strings

in all selected graphic objects on a display. Character strings include

tag placeholders, expressions and parts of strings within expressions.

When replacing tags, you can use an entire tag name, including

folders, or you can replace a string of characters.

You cannot use wildcard characters when searching for or replacing

tag names.

Tag substitution is useful when your graphic displays use a direct

reference tag name or if an HMI Tag name is referenced throughout

your application and needs to be updated.

Follow these steps to substitute a tag or character string.

1. Open the graphic display

you want to update.

2. Press Ctrl-A to select all

objects in the display.

All objects on the display

are highlighted. This

example display is for

illustration purposes only.

3. Select Edit>Tag Substitution.

TIP

You must select all objects or the Tag Substitution dialog will

only show tags of the selected objects.
