3. Click Yes to delete a single block or click Delete All to delete multiple blocks and place their chains off scan.

NOTES:

• If you are using Proficy Historian to collect block values, and you delete a block from the iFIX database, the tag is also deleted from the Historian Collector.
• If the block you are deleting is collected by Proficy Historian, and the Collector is running, it takes approximately two minutes for the deletion to appear. This change affects all blocks; at the time of deletion, all tags stop collecting briefly while the deleted tag is removed from the collection.
