How to create "Internal" tags for Data Entry

I want to use the Data Entry control to manually log Lab results data. How do I create the tags needed ? These tags do not come from PLCs or any other device, they would be "Canary Internal" tags.

  • Hi eric. tremblay ,

    I would suggest 2 options.

    1. CSV Collector - using this collector you could consume a csv file with the tag names and an initial value/timestamp.
    2. Create a temporary calc that will output the tag name you want to then update with the Data Entry tool.

  • There is also the option to call the writer API manually (via Postman or similar) whilst creating a new Dataset to populate tags that don't exist. After the first successful API write call, they'll exist and you can assign the data entry for them.
