I am curious is there something I am missing are is the below a little confusing?  
My main question is  
Is there a way to look up the **History Deadband Mode** value using the tag report tool?

**Overview:**  
I have a task where I need to check several aspects:

1. Deadband Mode
2. History Enabled
3. Storage Provider
4. Overrides

What I noticed is that **History Enabled** is both a trait and property. This one is not too bad due to I can just be carful on selecting property and not trait. It looks confusing on the tag report tool because the header does not saywhich is a trait and which is a property.

**Overrides** is the property but **Overrides Parent Properties** is the trait which to me is a little misleading. Yet, just being sure we select the property and not the trait is the way to handle this.

The bigger issue is **Deadband Mode**

**Deadband Mode** is on both on the _Numeric_ AND _History_ section, but it looks like on tag report tool's output I am only getting the _Numeric_ and I can not seem to find the _History_ section for this property.

**Example:**  
Visual of the headers for each above statement(took out the values for privacy. Just headers provided)  
_For History Enabled enabled I would need to go back and manually look._

Picture columns left to right description:

Full tag path | **trait or property?** | **trait or property?** | Storage Provider | **Numeric or history?** | Override trait | Override property
