Hello, If I wanted to manually save off all of the values in all tags found in System, Vision Client\_Tags, Sample\_Tags, and default all at once, how can I do that? I don't want to use that export for anything besides having a human-readable file that shows all of the tags and their current values. -David ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/0/9/09bdd5b08a15f1b4b2bed0f52adfe845ba2b4201.png) ---

There's no built-in way to do that. You'd have to script it, with combinations of `system.tag.browse()` and `system.tag.readBlocking()`. ---

In addition to what Phil said, realize that Vision Client Tags don't actually exist on the Gateway; they only exist in a running Vision Client, and each Client has its own independent set of those tags. ---

> [@Kevin.Herron](#): > > only exist in a running Vision Client Well, they do exist in the designer, too. ---

Oh yeah, that too. ---

Thanks. My goal was to be able to get all of this info off the tools in under 20 minutes in Designer. The Tag Report Tool does this well on a single provider, but I was hoping I could scope that to all providers that the tool has access to. ---

The tag report tool can be called from scripts. The tag report tool GUI will even hand you the script for what you configure. ---

Hmm, yeah, maybe playing with `system.tag.query` you could get something working. I haven't really used it much. > **[system.tag.query | Ignition User Manual](https://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. ---

I've used it a bunch in the past year. It's awesome. (Another Exchange resource is on the way.)
