using that data set.

Add or Edit Placeholders

To add or edit placeholders:

1. To open the Placeholders dialog box, click Placeholders in the

ODBC Data Sets (page 255) dialog box, or click the Custom
Placeholders
button on a symbol definition dialog box.

In this dialog box, you can rename placeholders, change their type or
specify values.

FactoryTalk Historian ProcessBook allows you to create custom

placeholders for a symbol based on a summary Data Set or a FactoryTalk
Historian tag placeholder in an ODBC data set. Placeholders are not allowed

for expression Data Sets. The Custom Placeholders button in symbol
definition dialog box boxes allows you to specify different FactoryTalk

Historian tags for a FactoryTalk Historian Summary Data Set or ODBC data set
with a FactoryTalk Historian tag placeholder. The change applies only to the

configured symbol.
