5.1.11.3 File Tag Number
When data is uploaded from the M.O.L.E., the (*.MDM) portion of the data run is
automatically assigned a special File Tag number. The first two characters are
automatically assigned WR. The next nine characters are the first nine characters from
the user/computer login name and the remaining six characters are in numerical
sequence that can be specified by the user.
For example, if the User login name is “JSMITH”, a File Tag number would be
“WR_JSMITH_000100.mdm”.
If there is no user login name available, the software will automatically assign the
first nine characters from the computer name (i.e. Production, Engineering). If
both the user name and computer name are not available “USER” will be
assigned to the File Tag number (i.e. WR_USER_000100.mdm).
To change the File Tag number sequence:
1) Select the File Tag Number command from the File menu.
2) A dialog box appears so a file tag number can be entered in the text box, or the
number automatically assigned by the software can be used.

3) Click the OK command button to set the File Tag Number or click Cancel to close
the window without changing the number.
If a file tag number is entered that currently exists, the (.MDM) file will be
incremented automatically to avoid that file from being overwritten.
