Importing Favorites

Procedure

  1. To import your favorites for a new user using the same Historian Trend Client but with different login credentials:
    1. Copy (if necessary) the desired JSON file to that computer.
    2. Login to the Historian Trend Client with that user ?s credentials.
    3. Click on Import Favorites, and browse to the location where the JSON file is stored.
    4. Select the file by clicking on it and select Open > OK.
    5. If the Import Favorites dialog box pops up prompting you to select either Overwrite existing Favorites, or Import conflicting Favorites with new names, select your desired option and click Continue (or Clear to end the operation).
  2. To import your favorites to a different Historian, you will need to edit the JSON file in your favorite editor (Notepad, for example) before importing it so that the tag names match those on the new Historian.
    If you use the Historian machine name in the prefix but have a common naming convention for all similar tags, this can be a simple global search and replace operation. Once that is complete, follow the same steps as above.
