I'm wanting to create some sort of lookup search window for equipment tags on the HMI. I have a factorytalk view studio hmi file that has been filled will many different screens from various venders/programmers.
If I am trying to find Motor1234, I would like to be able to type in *1234* and have it tell me what screen that motor is on. It is my understanding that this isn't a native feature for view studio. If I have to compile the list myself of the thousands of motor and instrument tags, I plan to eventually.
I'm just not certain the best way to approach this, if I can build and excel sheet and have the HMI perform a lookup? My experience has been more DeltaV, and there is a very strong link between the HMI and the I/O backend, and this lookup feature is sorely missed.
