  • Live values

    When “Show live values for connector topics” is enabled (the default), then live values are shown for connector topic tags for applicable connectors. Running tasks will always show live values.

  • Default tag name order

    The default tag name order determines how task nodes and connector topics display tags. By default, tag names are shown in ascending alphabetical order. You can also sort tags in alphabetical ascending or descending order by clicking on the tag name column header in the data grid presenting the tags. Refresh the view to revert to the default tag name order.

    With option “Sort alphabetically, then by number suffix”, the number suffix of a tag name is determined, then tag names are sorted by the name prefix in ascending alphabetical order and by the the numerical value of the number suffix in numerical ascending order. Trailing non-alphanumerical characters are ignored when determining the number suffix. Examples: Tag1 and Tag[1] both have number suffix 1 because the ] bracket character at the end is ignored. Tag1, Tag2, Tag10 will be listed in that order, rather than the alphabetical order of Tag1, Tag10, Tag2.

    Finally, option “Show in the order that tags were added” does not apply any sorting and tags are presented in the original order as they were added.
