To begin adding new data points, navigate to the correct area in your
FactoryTalk Directory in the Select Tags group and double-click to open the
folder/area. Select a tag in the Contents of window, and then click Add
Selected Tag(s). The new data points appear in red text in the data point
grid. This new data point is considered a pending edit.
In creating new data points and saving them, saving pending edits does not
affect the running configuration because they have not been used in a
transaction. Assembling new data points that are not used in a configuration
that uses online edits does not affect the running configuration because
FactoryTalk Transaction Manager does not collect data for data points that
are not used. Data points must be assembled before they can be used in a
new transaction.

While editing existing data points, you may change any of the data point
parameters except the data point name and mode (scheduled, unscheduled or
device-scheduled). To open the Edit Collection Parameters of Selected
Row(s) dialog box and change the properties of data points, use one of the
methods described below:
 Select the data point row in the data point grid, right-click and select
Edit Selected Collection Parameters from the menu.
 Double-click in the data point row to which you want to make the
change.
 Select the data point row in the data point grid and select Create Edits.
 Select the data point row in the data point grid, and copy or paste data
points from Excel.
After you have finished modifying the data point parameters, you must save
the changes before you close the FactoryTalk Data Point dialog box.
