Configure External Access in the New Tag Dialog Box
You can create these types of tags on the New Tag dialog box:
• Base tag
• Alias tag
• Produced tag
• Consumed tag
The parameters on the dialog box depend on the type of tag you are creating. For
tag descriptions, see page 24
.
The External Access box on the New Tag dialog box lets you assign the external
access attribute for the tag being created. Follow these steps.
1. On the Controller Organizer, right-click Controller Tags and choose
New Tag.
IMPORTANT
For Alias type, the External Access box is disabled. You are not allowed to change
the external access of an alias tag. However, the External Access box will update its
value to be the same as the external access of the base target.
See “‘Go To’ Search Menu
” on page 71 for procedures to locate the base tag for an
alias.
See “External Access Availability
” on page 72 for additional
tag considerations.
