How to create "Internal" tags for Data Entry

Forum / Questions & Answers

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.
