# Configure Grade-Based Limits

**Purpose:** Practice configuring grade-based limits.

**Task:** Configure grade-based Control-type limits for a tag and view them in a Trend.

**Steps:**

1. There are two main ways to open Tag Limits:
  1. From a Trend, right-click on a tag and choose **Limits -> Configure -> Control**.

  2. Or, go to the **Tools** tab in PARCview Explorer and select **Tag Limits**.

2. If Tag Limits was opened from PARCview, drag a tag into the **Tag** field. If it was opened from a Trend, the tag that was right-clicked will pre-populate.
3. Choose Control as the **Type** of limit (or make sure it is selected).
4. Make sure **Not Grade Based** is unchecked.
5. In the first row and column of the limits grid, click in the **Grade** field and open the drop-down menu. Select a grade.
6. Enter Lower Target, and Upper limits.

7. Repeat for other grades.
8. Click **Save** at the top and close the window.
9. If Tag Limits was launched from a Trend, tag limits will now be enabled. Otherwise, add the tag to a Trend and enable Control limits.
10. Change the Trend’s timespan to 7D to see Grade changes.
