The following table shows options of the
E-signature
 tab.
Options
Description
Confirm and E-Signature settings
Select an option to configure the confirmation types before writing a value to a tag.
  • No Confirmation
  • Require Confirmation
  • Require E-Signature
  • Use Variable
     to use a tag or parameter to determine the confirmation types.
Remark
Enter a customized message that will be shown in the
Diagnostic List
 when toggling a new tag value with the toggle switch object at runtime. This is helpful for monitoring and identifying operations that change tag values among a large number of diagnostic messages.
You can configure multiple languages for remark at design time. However, the remark message is only logged in the default language. For example, your application has three languages configured and the remark messages are also configured in those three languages. If the application's default language is English and the current language is Chinese, the remark messages are logged in the default language English.
The following placeholders are available:
  • /C
    Use it as a placeholder for the current value.
  • /N
    Use it as a placeholder for the new value.
For example, a message for toggling a motor on or off could be
Toggle the motor state from /C to /N
.
If you want to switch the language of extended tag properties added by the
Insert Tag
 option, use
/L
 before the inserted tag without space.
Tip
: Semicolon (;) is FactoryTalk View SE's reserved character. If you want to use the semicolon in the remark message, you must enclose it in double quotation marks.
Insert Tag
Click and then select a tag from the
Tag Browser
 you intend to insert into the
Remark
box. The tag value will show as part of the customized message in the
Diagnostic List
.
For tags that are long and not easy to recognize, use extended tag properties, such as
{/Line1_Data::[CookieLine]Motor.@Description}
 to include the description of the tag in the message. You can also use a tag placeholder, such as
#1
 in the message.
