In Nexus, Tag Browser is accessible anywhere the Tag Browser button is located, 

including all display windows and the Nexus Explorer.

00:07 ⟶ 00:15

Note that popups may need to be allowed in the browser when launching 

Tag Browser for the first time. 

00:15 ⟶ 00:26

The Nexus Tag Browser displays all tags out of the process tags table.

00:21 ⟶ 00:25

The location of the listed tags can be adjusted with the Location dropdown in 

the upper-left.

00:27 ⟶ 00:34

The topmost row in the tag list is a filter bar that allows for filtering by a 

single column or by multiple columns simultaneously.

00:35 ⟶ 00:44

Additionally, unchecking the Filter by Column box implements a singular filter in the 

first column that will filter all columns by a single entry.

00:46 ⟶ 00:49

Filters in Tag Browser support wild card matching.

00:49 ⟶ 01:00

The most commonly used wild card characters -  asterisks, carrots, dollar signs, and question marks - 

are described in the PARCview Manual and are included in the video notes.

01:03 ⟶ 01:09

Tags can be sorted by clicking on the column headers, with the arrows indicating 

whether they are sorted ascending or descending.

01:09 ⟶ 01:17

The Tag Browser window can be independently resized to achieve the desired dimensions  

or to view more or fewer columns.

01:17 ⟶ 01:21

Column order can also be adjusted by dragging and dropping the headers.

01:21 ⟶ 01:31

Column visibility can be configured with the Column Selector, which is accessible by 

right-clicking any column header or by selecting the option column header. 

01:32 ⟶ 01:37

In the Column Selector window, users can check or uncheck the boxes to show or hide 

columns as well as set the column width.

01:43 ⟶ 01:46

Column width can also be adjusted by dragging the header dividers.

01:48 ⟶ 01:54

The options menu can be launched by selecting the option button in the rightmost column or by 

right-clicking a tag row.

01:55 ⟶ 02:00

From the options menu, users can open Tag Info, trend the tag, and launch Tag Builder.

02:00 ⟶ 02:06

In addition to the options menu, there are a few other ways to add tags to trend displays from Tag Browser.

02:06 ⟶ 02:12

A single tag can be trended by double-clicking on the tag row and by dragging from Tag Browser onto a display.

02:15 ⟶ 02:26

Multiple tags can be trended by holding down the control key, clicking on multiple tag rows, 

then dragging onto a display or clicking the Trend Selected button at the bottom of the Tag Browser window.

02:29 ⟶ 02:40

Multiple tags can also be trended by enabling the Select Multiple Tags option, checking the desired tag boxes, 

then dragging onto a display or clicking the Trend Selected button.

02:46 ⟶ 02:49

Clicking the refresh button will reset the tag selection.

02:50 ⟶ 02:56

Finally, Tag Browser can be embedded in websites via iframes, where all of the same functions are supported.
