Key Text Library "Text" from a string type tag

Post by khoff »

Is there a way to do this? We have a lengthy alarm list, most of which are pre-set (thus the text library makes sense). Some of them are spares, which we want to make variable.

I would like to use the text stored in my variable tags, as the text displayed in the text library for a few of the entries.

Thanks!

Yes, you can use tags create your alarm text. Press the three little dots button as shown below to bring up the dialog box.

"{0}" means to insert the tag text associated with the tag assign to row 0.
