      Field explanation

      1. Selection of data - expand the DIAP and select tag:
        1. DIAP: Select the DIAP that you wish to show data from.
        2. PLC: Choose PLC or sensor.

      After having selected the required data points from DIAP(s), then press the "Download data"

      It will download a .zip folder, which contains Excel files.

      Unpack or open the .zip folder.

      Possibility using a template (Load and Save)

      It is now possible to save a tag export template on your own device. Once the different tags has been added to the overview, then the "Save" button can be pressed. 

      Once the "Save" button has been pressed, then a pop-up will occur to let you decide where to save the file. The file will be a .JSON file.

      Once the file has been saved, then you are ready to either share with colleagues or make use of the tag template another time.

      Next time you enter the "Export data" page and the list is empty, then you may make use of "Load" and select your file.

      A pop-up will occur. Select the file location of the file and load the file.

      Press "Import" and the tag(s) are now imported and can be used for export of data.
