Overview
Enumerations allow you to associate numeric tag values with descriptive text strings, enhancing data presentation in displays. Tags linked to an Enumeration Set can display either the numeric value or its descriptive text equivalent.

Defining Enumerations
- Navigate to Unified Namespace → Enumerations.
- On the toolbar of DataGrid, click on the "Insert New" button to create a new enumeration.
- Insert a descriptive name for your new enumeration in the name field.
- Finally, define the enumeration values along with their respective display texts.
Using Enumerations
After having the enumeration setup complete, you can use it to show strings associated with the value of a given tag.
To configure a Tag to use the specified Enumeration, navigate to UnifiedNamespace / Tags. Right-click on the column titles to open the 'Show Columns' combobox, then select the Enumeration column to make it visible. Next, click on the Enumeration cell in the desired tag line and choose the configured enumeration.
Once this is set up, use Tag.TagName.ValueAsString in the display to show the string that corresponds to the configured value in the selected enumeration.
