Is there any way to filter the tag or do a search to find any tags with quality issues? Right now, we only know which tags have issues by searching through the screens looking for tag overlays and then doing a diagnostics on that object to find which tags have an issue.

Use the tag report tool.

> **[Tag Report Tool | Ignition User Manual](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/docs/8.1/platform/tags/tag-report-tool)**
>
> The Tag Report Tool allows users to search for tags by multiple criteria, including Tag Path, Quality, Type, Traits, and values on specific Properties.

Can also use the system.tag.query function for tag searches that are often repeated.

I find that the 'Copy As Script' function in the Tag Report tool is very useful to get a jump start on system.tag.query. You can use it in your project to build a dataset of tags, then export to .csv or .xls
