Tag Details

These pages will allow you to customize your tag properties, create alarming set points, view tag history and alarm history.

You can navigate to the Tag Details page in any one of the following two ways:

Click the data value from the grid in the Summary Listing.

When viewing the Tag Values tab of the Device Details page click on the Tag Description Name.

You will then have several tabs:

Tag History Tab: This will give you an overview of the pas spot polls. You can view this as a graph or see the individual spot poll values.

You can view the historical data for the selected tag in a list by clicking Grid View. You can toggle back to the trend by clicking Chart View (default view).

Keep in mind eLynx will remember which view you have most recently clicked on per session. If you log off and log back in the Chart View will be the view that you see when you navigate to the Tag Details page.
