System Tags and Don't Do's

Below are some topics of what not to do in FIN Stack. They can cause problems in the database such as something not appearing correctly or data not updating.

System Tags

Below is a list of System Tags that should not be used. If these tags are on any of your points or other locations you may experience weird issues or break things.

  • site

  • building

  • floor

  • equip

  • schedule 

  • program

  • note 

  • weather 

  • rule

  • any of the conn marker tags

  • topLevel

  • unit (as a marker or empty string)

Connector Tags

Below is a list of other connector tags not to use when bringing in data into FIN Stack. You can add them afterwards.

  • Room - if a point is tagged as "room" in Niagara and using the NHaystack connector, then trying to import this record into FIN Stack will throw an error that it can't due to that tag.

Missing sensor/sp/cmd tag

Sometimes customers might remove one of these needed tags for points or add more than one. Each point has to have either sensor, sp, or cmd tag. If you have more than one or none of those, you can use this tool to fix it: Fix Conflicting Tags.
