I've used this tag report to get a quick csv file dump of all tags in a given provider loads of times. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/f/8/f88b0bee0fff9bb28690d805f023ea2d6b795e02.png) I was wondering if there's a way I could execute this from a script to get the report results returned as a dataset? From there I'm comfy with getting that saved to a file, just not seeing anything jump out that looks like it would let me execute a tag report that I had already set up. ---

Yes, use `system.tag.query()`. See: > **[system.tag.query | Ignition User Manual](https://www.docs.inductiveautomation.com/docs/8.1/appendix/scripting-functions/system-tag/system-tag-query)** > > Queries a Tag Provider to produce a list of tags that meet the specified criteria. ---

You can even configure a report via the UI and then click a button to export it as a script: > **[Tag Report Tool | Ignition User Manual](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/docs/8.1/platform/tags/tag-report-tool#interface-elements)** > > The Tag Report Tool allows users to search for tags by multiple criteria, including Tag Path, Quality, Type, Traits, and values on specific Properties. ---
