> [@cole.young34](#): > > When I initially set up the tags, for ease, I modeled after the PLC and was used the following as the tag path: [{PLC}]{InstanceName}.Value > This made creating tags very easy using the Multi-Instance Tag Creator Since, you're converting from FTView, I'm going to guess that your devices are also AB. In which case, there are some pitfalls to avoid when creating tags. See this discussion, it is a long read but very much worth it. > [@Cannot read some tags inside Rockwell AOI](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/cannot-read-some-tags-inside-rockwell-aoi/38393/3): > > What Mike said, but also: Don’t. All AOI’s have EnableIn and EnableOut booleans that are locked to “Hidden” and therefore prevent most optimization of the data traffic to read instances of these data types. Ignition’s Logix driver cannot do bulk reads on AOIs. Do very much of this and your Logix driver will choke. I strongly recommend that any AOI you design yourself use one or more InOut parameters of another data type, with instances of those datatypes elsewhere. Place all of your extern… Also, see this thread for some best practice tips. > [@Ignition & Logix Best Practice Tips for better communications](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/ignition-logix-best-practice-tips-for-better-communications/60386): > > Hi All, After a whole bunch of issues I have gone down the rabbit hole of what is wrong with our setup on site. I will preface this by saying I a relatively new to all of this… so be gentle stuck_out_tongue Based on much reading(such wow) I believe I have a list of things our site could take away for a better system. Some of them are easy to implement, whilst some of them need… significant work to realize. Especially the AOI approach in point 5 expressionless Before going too far and up… All good things to know. As for you're other issue, if you want the operators to have an Ad-Hoc charting capability, then IMHO renaming the tags is probably the better solution. You can export the tags and then with a CSV file or some other means of connecting the old name to the new one, edit the names in mass, and then reimport the tags. I think that there are some examples of this floating around the forum. Perhaps @nminchin has something he is willing to share? --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/tag-browse-tree-change-tag-names/62344)._
