Delete Unused Tags

Post by MatthewMunoz »

Hello,

Is there any way to batch delete or sort unused tags in the iX Developer tag database, or do they have to be checked and deleted one at a time?

Thanks for your help

Matt

In the tag tab there is a 'Cross Reference' button. It will search your project and tell you where the tag is used in iX objects. It will not tell you if you are using a tag in a script.

You can use that feature to see if a tag is used, and then delete the ones you are not using. You have to do it manually using the Cross Reference button, one tag at a time.

Hi Mark,

Thank you for the reply. I thought that was the case.
I'll just need to be more careful importing tags from now on.

Best Regards,

Matt
