Manually adding a tag

Users with the Administrator, Security Officer, or ICS Officer role can manually add tags.

To manually add a new tag:

1. Connect to the Kaspersky Industrial CyberSecurity for Networks Server via the web interface under a user account that has been assigned a role with the access rights to perform this action.

   This action can be performed by a user with the Administrator, Security Officer, or ICS Officer role.

2. Select the Process control section.
3. On the Tags tab, open the details area by clicking Add tag.
4. Click Select device to open the device selection window.
5. In the device selection window, select the device for which you want to create a tag and click OK.

   The device selection window contains a table in which you can configure the layout and order of columns, and also filter, search, and sort similarly to the table of devices in the Assets section.

6. Select the protocol that is indicated in the Process Control settings for the selected device. You must select a protocol that supports the transmission of tags.

   If the necessary protocol is not available, you can configure the Process Control settings and specify the necessary protocol. To open the settings window, use the button on the right of the protocol selection field. Process Control settings are configured the same as when adding or editing settings while working with the table of devices.

7. Change the tag name if necessary. The default name according to the template is Tag <value of the device tag counter>.

   You can use letters of the English alphabet, numerals, and the following special characters: ( ) . , : ; ? ! * + % - < > @ [ ] { } / \ _ $ #. The tag name must begin and end with any permitted character except a space.

8. Configure other tag parameters.

   The mandatory parameters (such as the tag name and data type) must be specified for a tag. Depending on the selected protocol and data type, additional parameters (such as the unit of measure and scaling limits) may be available for configuration.

9. Click Save.

   This button is unavailable if not all required values are specified or if there are invalid values in the settings.

The new tag appears in the table of tags.
