What Is It?
Available Tags in OpCon are shown in the grid under Library > Tags.
Select Add, Copy, or Edit to open the tag dialog:
Select Filter to expose the schedule-job-frequency tree for associating items with the tag. A tag can be associated with a job or its frequencies, but not both. Selecting a frequency associates the tag to that frequency only; selecting a job associates the tag to the job and disassociates it from all its frequencies.
The Tag Name field must be unique across all tags.
Select a tag in the list to view the tag associations grid, which displays the schedules, jobs, and frequencies associated with the tag.
See Tag Concepts.
