Hello Guys,  
Can you assist me following how to execute  
In tags browser, I will access OPC tag's folder. But in some OPC folder's, there is no tags in folder.  
I want to identify such folder's and move their names in list or table component.

That is entirely dependent on the OPC server and its drivers. Not all protocols have the ability to "discover" what tags are available. And in some cases, an OPC server might not _implement_ that discovery feature in certain cases. Which means there's no information for Ignition to show in the browse view.

So, what brand and model of device is this? And are you using an IA driver? Or a third-party OPC server?

If you are using IA's native drivers, make sure you are using the driver matching your device firmware.
