When I want to add a tag to “POWER CHART”, 2 databases appear (I have two projects), but I want each area to show only its database in power chart

Cuando queiero agregar un tag a “POWER CHART” me aparecen 2 bases de dato (tengo dos proyectos), pero quiero que cada area, muestre solo su base de datos en power chart

If I’m understanding right, you want to only show the contents of one database on two different power charts. This can be done with the `props.config.tagBrowserStartPath` property. It’s nested in [this](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC81/Perspective+-+Power+Chart) page of the manual, but basically you can just edit that property to start with a specific path as the root using the format:

```auto
histprov:Sample_SQLite_Database:/drv:My_Gateway:My_Tag_Provider:/tag:My_Folder

```

In your case, since you just want to filter out one database you’d probably just need to do something like `histprov:Sample_SQLite_Database`

Since this thread is closely related to my question:  
How can I show just one table in the DB?  
`histprov:New History Provider:/drv:developer:`

This gets me into the database, but no matter what I add after that, all the tables are still visible. I thought that the next parameter `tag:` would accept the table name, but that does not work.

Thoughts?
