Create tag

In Kaspersky MLAD, you can create new tags to describe data received from the monitored asset (source tags) or from the Stream Processor service.

To create a new tag:

1. In the administrator menu, select Tags.
2. In the upper part of the page, click the Create button.

   The Create tag pane opens on the right.

3. In the Tag type drop-down list, select Tag.
4. If necessary, click the Choose an icon button and select an icon for the tag in the opened window.

   You can upload the tag icon by clicking the Load icon button. Images of any format larger than 128x128 pixels are shrunk to 128x128 while maintaining the aspect ratio. The size of the uploaded image in SVG format must not exceed 200 KB.

   If you need to delete the tag icon, click the tag icon and then click Delete in the opened window.

5. In the Group drop-down list, select the desired tag group to which you want to assign the created tag.

   Tag groups must be previously loaded or created manually.

6. Specify the tag name in the Name field. If you want to receive tag values from an external system, specify the tag name in the external system.

   If the use of the KICS connector is enabled, Kaspersky MLAD automatically fills in the tag name based on the tag name received from Kaspersky Industrial CyberSecurity for Networks.

7. Enter a description for the tag in the Description field.
8. Enter the tag ID in the ID field.
9. In the Dimension field, specify the measurement units for the tag.
10. In the X, Y, and Z fields, specify the spatial coordinates for the location of the monitored asset's sensor.

    You can use an arbitrary point as the origin of the coordinate system.

    You can use sensor coordinates to calculate tag values when creating a preset and displaying them on the graph in the Time slice section.

11. In the Class to display field, specify the class for displaying the tag.
12. In the Technical limits section, in the Lower and Upper fields, specify the lower and upper limits for the tag values.

    These settings are required for correct operation of the Limit Detector. Whenever the tag value reaches its upper or lower technical limit, the Limit Detector registers an incident.

    If the Always show technical limits option is enabled, the vertical scale of the graph will be defined by limit lines drawn at the lower and upper boundaries of the tag graph, provided that the tag values are within the specified range. If the tag values go beyond the specified limits, the vertical scale will be automatically changed to display the tag values exceeding the limits.

13. In the Display boundaries section, in the Lower and Upper fields, specify the lower and upper boundaries for displaying tag values on graphs.

    If tag values go beyond the defined boundaries, they will not be displayed on the tag graph. The permissible boundaries for displaying tag values take priority over the display of technical limits, even if the Always show technical limits function is enabled.

14. In the Asset field, specify the name of the asset created in the external system, for which you need to receive tags.

    If the use of the KICS connector is enabled, Kaspersky MLAD automatically fills in the asset name based on the asset name for which the tag is received from Kaspersky Industrial CyberSecurity for Networks.

15. If you need to add additional horizontal threshold lines for this tag on graphs in the Monitoring and History sections, click the Add line button and use the Threshold value field to enter the value that should be displayed on the graph.

    Additional horizontal threshold lines help visually evaluate the fluctuations of tag values within certain limits. You can add multiple additional horizontal threshold lines.

16. Click the Create button.

The new tag will appear under Tags in the tag tree on the left. If necessary, you can change the position of tags in the tag tree. To do this, drag the required tag up or down in the tag tree by the three horizontal lines () to the left of its ID.
