Hi Could you please help me to find out what cross reference is available in Ignition? i look around and find …nothing I cannot check how many times and where the tag was used i dont know how many times each template was used i dont know what is the difference between 2 version of the project…

Unfortunately because you can build tag paths on the fly, there’s no way for us to give you a list of where every tag is used. With Ignition 8, if you’ve checked your project into version control it’s really easy to see which resources have changed between versions. Some resources are now stored as…

As per @KathyApplebaum there seems to currently be no cross reference. But a Tags Cross Reference feature request does exists, and is marked as being under review. So there maybe hope for the future.

What is needed is a tool that can be used to “scan” an exported project for every reference of every tag in the project. By cross referencing an exported project file, we can get a snapshot in time of all the tags and where they are used. This tool would run on a client computer and would not burd…

Doesn't exist. Handling project resources (as encoded in exports) is astonishingly difficult outside the platform, and rather difficult inside the platform. See this related thread: [image] V7.9.x Version Control Workaround? Ignition TL/DR: Not possible for anyone outs…

OK, so it’s hard if not impossible to cross reference tags on an exported project. Do it in the designer. Most of the coding must be done already with the Find/Replace feature. Automate the Find/Replace to run through every tag and send the results to a text file. Seems simple so what am I missi…

[image] mthornton: Even the ability to copy/paste the results of the Find/Replace would be helpful Fixed in 8.1.1, for what it's worth. We're aware of the demand for some kind of tag cross-reference tool, and implementing something (exactly what that will be is to-be-determined) is a part of…

Hi, folks! The Inductive Automation software engineering team is looking for users to provide feedback on concept designs pertaining to this topic on cross reference. We would love to schedule some time with our users to get thoughts on the concept! Sign ups are available below: [image] I…

I'm curious if your team is looking to build something at the Gateway level ... cuz what I'd really like to do is see what is accessing the tag, right now (Historian, Project ABC, Gateway Script XYZ, etc.) We have a tag that is throwing comm errors, and we'd like to completely delete it, if we coul…

Great news for you: [image] Tag Reference Tracker Ignition Early Access Intro At ICC, we announced that, in the 8.1.34 release, a new tool to identify what resource in Ignition is utilizing different tags would be released; a feature we call the Tag Reference Tracker. The…

Sounds great ... I'm looking at those EarlyAccess pages now ... thx.

Does Ignition have any cross reference?
