‘Go To’ Search Menu
The external access setting of an alias tag can only be changed through its base
tag. The ‘Go To’ option on the Search menu of the Logix Designer application is
a convenient way to find the base tag among all the cross-reference records.
Follow these steps to locate a base tag.
1. With the Tag Editor window open, from the Logix Designer Search menu,
select the desired alias tag and choose Go To.
The Go To window appears.
2. In the Go to what column, choose Base Tag.
The box will display the target of the alias tag. If there is an alias chain, all
alias tags in this chain will display in a list in the Go To column.
3. From the Go To menu, choose a target of the alias tag.
4. Click Go To.
The target is located with a black box around it.
