Tag Names Must Consist of Valid Characters
When configuring tag names, you must use valid characters.
Valid tag name characters consist of:
• Any combination of alphanumeric characters (i.e. A through Z, and/or 0 through 9)
• Spaces
• Period (.)
• Symbols other
than those listed below (e.g. you may use the number hatch (
), and underscore (_) characters in tag
names)
Invalid tag name characters consist of:
Tag names cannot include any of the following characters:
|
• Backslash (\) |
• Forward slash (/) |
|
• Colon (:) |
• Asterisk (*) |
|
• Question mark (?) |
• Double quotes (") |
|
• Less than (<) |
• Greater than (>) |
|
• Vertical bar (|) |
• Leading spaces |
|
• Trailing spaces |
|
Further, tag names cannot be strictly numeric (e.g. 10075 is an invalid tag name), nor can they duplicate the name of any of the tables in the tag properties database (Points.mdb).
In the event that you have entered an invalid tag name, VTS will notify you with a warning dialog, and will clear the tag properties folder's Name field for the entry of a valid tag name.
