I would like to limit the tags available to Power Chart tag browser to sub-set of my overall tags. My initial thinking was that this could be achieved with the tagBrowserStartPath property located under PROPS \> config.

Changing the tagBrowserStartPath property unfortunately seems to have no effect.

Has anyone successfully limited the tags that are exposed under the Tag menu in the Power Chart perspective window?

One possible method to limited the tags available in the tag browser in the Power Chart component is through “histprov: xxx”.

The easiest way to determine what the fully qualified tag path should be is by dragging a tag into the Power Chart component and then downloading the tag history. The fully qualified tag path will appear above the tag history.
