The default values apply when creating a new tag, importing a tag from
the server registry, or importing a tag from a spreadsheet. In the case of
spreadsheet, a value in the spreadsheet overrides the default value for
the field. For more information about the individual fields, see the
section in this chapter.
How Do You Use Spreadsheet Files for Tag Configuration?
With the Tag Configuration Editor, you can export tag configuration
information to spreadsheet files, and import tag configuration information
from spreadsheet files. The files are tab-delimited text (
.txt
) files.
Select File»Export… to save the file as a tab-delimited
.txt
file. When
you select Export…, a dialog box prompts you to select and order the
fields you want in your spreadsheet file. If you intend to edit the
spreadsheet file and then import the edited information back into the Tag
Configuration Editor, select the All>> button to select all available fields.
