titleIntroduction

The following document describes the usage of the Copy/Paste tool to easily insert Tags into a Page.

How To Use

The first step to use this feature is to create a Tag in your Project. This tag can be a simple one, an array or Custom Type. 

To better understand the feature, all three examples are shown in this documentbelow. The tags created are as follows:

Code Block
1.	Tag.Integer1 -- Integer DataType -- Simple Tag.
2.	Tag.Digital1 -- Digital DataType -- Array of 10 elements.
3.	Tag.CustomType -- Custom DataType
-- Sub-Elements: Element1 (Integer), Element2 (Integer.)

Now that our tags were created, we can start adding them to the display. Right-click at Integer1 Tag, and select Copy Selected Row option.

Navigate to the Draw Environment, at the desired Page. Right-click at the display and select Paste. You should see the Tag being inserted into the display, already formatted with a TextOutput, for label, and a TextBox for displaying value.

The same logic can be applied for array Tags. Copy the Tag row from Edit-Tags-Objects related to Digital1 Array. All elements should appear formatted when Pasted into a page.

Lastly, for a Custom Type Tag, Copy the Parent element from Edit-Tags-Objects and Paste it into your page. The child elements will be automatically formatted at the Display.
