# Create tag folders

Example

Use the folders to organize the tags in a database. Once you have created a folder you can add tags to it.

## To create a new folder

1. Choose New Folder from the Edit menu, or click the Create Folder button in the Tags editor's toolbar.
2. In the New Folder dialog box, type a name for the folder.
3. Click OK.

Use folders to organize the tags in a database. Organizing tags makes planning and maintaining the database easier. For example, you can group together all the tags for similar devices or areas of a plant floor.

Double-click a folder in the Folder Hierarchy tree to list its tags in the spreadsheet.

Tip: | You can use the Duplicate Folder option on the Edit menu to create a copy of a folder and its tags with a new folder name. You can also create folders in the Tag Browser. The folders that appear in the left pane of the Tag Browser are the same folders that appear in the Tags editor. You cannot add folders to data servers, only to the applications.
