    Edit Shortcut
    , make your changes to the shortcut.
    TIP:
    • You can make all the changes to the shortcut except for changing its name.
    • If any change to the shortcut might result in a change in the functionality of time synchronization or data collection, you will be prompted for confirmation.
  4. Click

    .
When editing shortcuts, consider the following points:
  • If you select a new controller from the list and that controller is already used for time synchronization, the time will no longer be synchronized with this controller after you save your changes to the shortcut.
    This is because adding a shortcut to a controller changes the name structure of the tags from the controller, which means previously defined tags will be disabled. For details, see Tag naming conventions.
  • If you select a new controller from the list and that controller is used for collecting data, the data will no longer be collected from this controller after you save your changes to the shortcut.
    This is because adding a shortcut to a controller changes the name structure of the tags from the controller, which means previously defined tags will be disabled. For details, see Tag naming conventions.
  • If you change the type of a local shortcut used for time synchronization to remote, the time will no longer be synchronized after you save your changes.
  • If you edit a shortcut used for time synchronization and change the controller to a different one, the time synchronization may be broken. To correct the time synchronization, you may have to restart the module.
