Config.ini [AREAS] Section Variables
Tag area filtering is a process whereby you may prevent certain tags that have been configured with a given Area property from loading at startup. When employed within an application's Config.ini file, tags with the specified Area property will not be loaded on any workstation running the application. When employed within a workstation.ini file or files, tags with the specified Area property will not be loaded on the applicable workstation(s). By combining tag area filtering for all workstations (i.e. using Config.ini), and custom area filtering on specific workstations (i.e. using workstation.ini files), you can restrict certain groups of tags from loading at startup for all workstations running the application, and then further restrict other groups of tags from loading at startup for selected workstations, thereby reducing the amount of memory required to run the application.
This section provides instructions on performing tag area filtering using Config.ini. Information on performing tag area filtering using workstation.ini files is provided in Workstation.ini [AREAS] Section Variables. Examples of tag area filtering can also be found in Tag Area Filtering.
