Tags are data placeholders, like variables.

Overview of Tags

Tags have type, scope and some have direction (in/out or read/write).

Tag	Symbol	Scope	Types	Direction	Remarks
Global Tags		Global Available to all Jobs	Bool Num Text	No direction	Global Tags are for general use. Any running Job has access to them. Global Tags offer Persistent option. In case Persistent option is enabled, value are saved during run time and restored each time Deskval Workbench is started. If Persistent option is not enabled, they are Zero Initialized(1) when Deskval Workbench is started.
Batch Tags		Global Available to all Jobs	Text	No direction	Batch Tags are intended for Batch values of materials. They are Zero Initialized(1) when Deskval Workbench is started.
Modbus Tcp Server Tags		Global Available to all Jobs	Bool Num	Directional	Modbus Server Tags present the in-out values of Modbus TCP Server.
Modbus Rtu Master Tags		Global Available to all Jobs	Bool Num	Directional	Modbus Rtu Tags can be be individually linked to in-out registers of Modbus Rtu Slaves.
Opc UA Server Tags		Global Available to all Jobs	Bool Num Text	Directional	Opc UA Server User Tags present the in-out values of Opc UA Server.

Parameter Tags		Local Job specific	Num Text	No direction	Parameter Tags are intended to transfer values to Workbench from higher level applications in Job scope.They have a Default Value section which would supply a default value.
Environment Tags		Local Job specific	Text	Directional	Environment Tags are intended to access Order related data of a Job, such as OrderId, WorkOrderId, Route In, Route Out data.

(1) : Zero Initialization means, Bool values initialize to False, Num values initialize to 0, Text values initialize to EmptyString.

Tags have editable Alias that offers custom/simplified naming.
