Replace tag placeholders in test display mode

The Test Display dialog box appears when testing a display if one or more tag placeholders are defined in the display. You can specify a parameter file or list to replace them with the actual tag names. You can also click Cancel to quit the display testing and go back to the Edit mode.

Tip:

# followed by a number is reserved for tag placeholders. It is not recommended to use this format in other cases, such as static text. If you must use # followed by a number in static text, add a space or _ between # and the number. For example, enter #_3 or # 3.

Parameter File

Select this option if the parameter values will be provided by a parameter file.

Click the browse button and select a file in the Component Browser. The parameter file assigns tags to tag placeholders in the display when the display runs.

Parameter List

Select this option if the parameter values will be provided by a parameter list.

All tag placeholders in the display are listed. Enter a tag name or value for the placeholder. You can also click the browse button to select a tag.
