Micro-PWC CONFIGURATION GUIDE
@aGlance/IT Server Interface 309
11.2.6.1 Add a New @aGlance Tagname
To add a new tagname to the list, click Add. The @aGlance Add Tagname window ( Figure 11-3 ) will be
displayed.
Text entry boxes Tagname, Attribute, and Translation appear in the top of the window. In the Tagname
entry box, enter a tagname from the Micro-PWC server database. In the Attribute entry box, enter the text
string to be used to represent the attribute when it is accessed by an @aGlance/IT client application. (If no
attribute name is entered it will default to out.) The type of name entered for the Attribute depends on the
format needed by the client application. The text string entered can be a Micro-PWC server atom name, or
it can be an SP72 name or other conventional name for a piece of data. It is the responsibility of the user to
know the data naming conventions and requirements of the client application.
In the Translation entry box enter an atom name from the Micro-PWC server database. The atom will then
be represented by the attribute with which it is now associated when it is accessed by an @aGlance/IT cli-
ent application. Associating an atom name and an attribute in this manner effectively translates the Micro-
PWC server system atom into the terminology of the client application.
Once the attribute and translation have been entered, click Apply to cause these items to be added to the
list of attributes configured for the tagname. The tagname remains in the Tagname entry box and the
Attribute and Translation entry boxes will be emptied allowing additional attributes to be configured for the
same tagname.
Note that after at least one attribute has been applied, Edit, Add and Delete on the @aGlance Add Tag-
name window become available. After entering input for the additional attributes, click Add to add the addi-
tional items to the configuration.
To change the configuration of an item, click that item in the list, then click Edit; the entries will appear in
the appropriate text entry boxes available for revision.
To delete an attribute/translation click the item in the list then click Delete; the entry will be removed from
the list.

✎ Note In general @aGlance/IT database access conforms to the ISA-
SP72 tag/attribute model. This is equivalent to the tagname.atom
model used in Micro-PWC server database access.
