Adding a Favorite

Procedure

  1. Use the Search function to find and select the tag(s) of interest.
  2. Set the time period for the chart by clicking the Time button.
  3. Drag-and-drop the tag(s) to create a chart, table, or value card. You can multi-select several tags using the Ctrl or Shift keys.
  4. Enter a meaningful title for this display by clicking on the title to open the Session Title field.
    Note: The Historian Trend Client uses relative time. When the favorite is restored, it will use the time duration that was configured in the favorite such that the End time is NOW and the Start time is the time duration from the saved favorite. For example, if you set the time period to be 9am to 9pm, the system always displays the last 12 hours from the time that is NOW. The time is set relative to now and displays in UTC time.
  5. Continue the session by building charts, tables, or value cards and adding tags.
  6. When done with your session, click the Save button.
    The Favorite Information dialog box appears.
  7. Keep the Session title as the default name of your Favorite, or enter a meaningful name and optional description.
  8. Click Create to save the Favorite.
    The Favorites pane displays the new Favorite.
