Hi,

As the title says can you somehow see how many tags is connected to a tag group?

I know I could browse all my tags and count the amount of tags in each tag group, but I was hoping for a more readily available method.

Thanks

The tag report tool should be able to do this.

Hey Esn,

I was looking to do the same quickly to see where my bottlenecks are, see the below:

```auto
provider = ''
path = 'Modules/AnalogueInput/*'

query = {
  "options": {
    "includeUdtMembers": True,
    "includeUdtDefinitions": False
  },
  "condition": {
    "path": path,
    "tagType": "AtomicTag",
    "attributes": {
      "values": [],
      "requireAll": True
    }
  },
  "returnProperties": [
    "tagGroup"
  ]
}

results = system.tag.query(provider, query)

# If the tag group already exists, add one, if not, add to dict with a count of one
tagGroupCount = {}
for result in results:
	tagGroup = result['tagGroup']
	if tagGroup in tagGroupCount:
		tagGroupCount[tagGroup] += 1
	else:
		tagGroupCount[tagGroup] = 1
		
# Max string length for displaying neatly
max_length = max(len(result) for result in tagGroupCount)	

# Print the results
print "Tag Group" + " " * (max_length - 7) + "Count"
print "-" * (max_length + 12)
for tagGroup, count in tagGroupCount.items():
    print tagGroup + " " * (max_length - len(tagGroup) + 2) + str(count)

```

Gives a neat output:

```auto
Tag Group Count
-----------------------------
Parameters 1 2500
Alarm Detail 1 7000
Settings 1 500
State 1 750
Feedback 1 500
Inputs 1 250
Status 1 2250
Alarm Status 1 1750
Overrides 1250
Alarm Query Tag 1 10500
Detail 1 750
Requests 1 1750

```

No judging on the code. Thanks!
