Example 6.1: Creating Tag ID Records
In this example, we will use the Add... button on the Change screen to create
three new Tag ID records..
1. Via a Quick Search (see Example 2.1) or some other means, access the
Instrument View screen.
2. Click on the Change... button.
3. On the subsequent screen, select the Add... button to access the Add Tag IDs
screen. (Note that if a Quick Search finds no record(s) containing the specified
search criteria, you will be given the opportunity to create a new record via
this screen.)
First we’ll enter values in the Area and Loop fields.
4. Click inside the Area field and type “Ex 6.1 Area1” (excluding the quotes) (If
there is text currently in the field you must first select the text.)
5. Click in the Loop field and type “Ex 6.1 Loop1” (excluding the quotes). (If
there is text currently in the field you must first select the text.) Note that
values placed in the Area and Loop fields remain until you change them,
allowing you to assign multiple Tag IDs to a single Loop or Area.
6. Click within the Tag IDs to Add array, then click on the + button to add an
entry into this field..
7. On the subsequent screen, enter “Ex 6.1 Tag1” (excluding the quotes) and
select OK. The Add Tag IDs screen reappears.
Now let’s specify a Serial Number field value.
8. Click within the Serial Numbers to Add array, then click on the + button to
add an entry into this field.
9. On the subsequent screen, enter “Ex 6.1 SN1” (excluding the quotes) and
select OK. The Add Tag IDs screen reappears.
10. In the same manner as just described, enter “Ex 6.1 Tag2” and “Ex 6.1 SN2”
in the Tag IDs to Add and Serial Numbers to Add arrays, respectively.
You may leave the Area and Loop field values alone.
11. Select the Create button to create the two Tag ID records we just specified.
After selecting the OK button on the subsequent screen, the Add Tag IDs
screen is displayed, providing us with the opportunity to add more records.
Now we will create another Tag ID record whose Area and Loop field values
differ from those in the two records we just created.
12. Enter “Ex 6.1 Area2” (excluding the quotes) in the Area field.
13. Enter “Ex 6.1 Loop2” (excluding the quotes) in the Loop field.
