Creating Tags
A tag is any variable that holds a value. You can create tags at any time
during the development of an application. All tags created in an application
are stored in the Application Tags folder located on the Database tab in the
Workspace.
Application Tags Folder
Use the following procedure to create a new tag:
1.
Double-click on the Datasheet View icon to open the Application Tags
worksheet.
2.
When creating a new tag, you must set the following main properties:
Name: Specify a unique tag name. (All tags must have a unique name.)
Array Size: Specify the number of elements for an array tag. (For simple
tags, you must specify zero.)
Type: Specify the data type to be supported by the tag (Boolean,
Integer, Real, String, or Class).
Description (optional): Type a description of the tag for documentation
purposes only.
Web Data: Specify the communication behavior of the tag between the
Server and the Web Thin Client stations.
Specify Local if you want the tag to have independent values in
the Server and Web Thin Client stations.
Specify Server if you want the tag to share the same value in the
Server and Web Thin Client stations.
