I have created a folder in tag browser. Will it be possible to bind that tag folder to the tree view display? So that I can display the specific tag data when an item is selected in the tree view?

Hi @drey,  
So from the above i understood you want to visualize the data presented inside the tag folder.

if so map your devices in database and form an dataset and bind it to the tree view component.

Have a great weekend😊

Hi @Sri_Haran  
Thank you for your response. I tried binding it to the database but in the tree view, the item name specified in the database is not showing and is showing as 'Item' instead. Do you know how to fix this?  
Please refer to the image below.

Just in case if you skip this there is a component to browse tags. Selected tag path can be access by `selection.values`.

> The Tag Browse Tree component displays a tree hierarchy based on an array of objects.

Hi,

I want to view the hierarchy based on my database columns. Will it be possible to bind it in tree view?
