Review Tags

Tags in WIP allow you to store, manage and review current and historical values of various types of data, including measured, filtered, calculated data, as well as data quality (see Data Quality). For more information about the functionality of tags, see Tags.

You can also build a hierarchy of tags with different levels to allow easier grouping and structuring. For more information, see User Hierarchy.

Prerequisites

To be able to review data associated with tags, they must be set up and configured as described in Configure Tags.

Review Tag Data

You can review tag data in the Tags pane of the WIP application, accessible via Settings ‣ Tags from the Navigation sidebar.

The Tags pane is divided into multiple sections that allow you to filter and select tags, and review different types of data associated with the selected tag:

Tag Filtering

Use the filtering section to search for tags based on specific criteria:

  • Add Expression: Add one or more filtering expressions based on tag attributes. For example, to find tags with TEST in their name:

    • Select Name

    • Choose Contains

    • Enter TEST

    Only tags matching this condition will appear in the Tag List.

  • And/Or: When using multiple expressions or groups, choose whether to apply all conditions (And) or any condition (Or).

    Example with two expressions:

    • Name contains TEST

    • Name ends with JB

    • And: Shows tags that match both conditions.

    • Or: Shows tags that match either condition.

  • Add Group: Create groups of filters for more complex logic. For example, to filter tags that:

    • Either contain MA in their name OR

    • Contain MC AND start with 1

    Steps:

    1. Add an expression for Name Contains MA.

    2. Add a new group and select OR at the top.

    3. In the new group, add two expressions and select AND at the top of the group:

      • Name contains MC

      • Name starts with 1

Historical Data View

This section displays historical values in list format, based on the selected Trend period. You can:
