Can I create tags in the DB before connecting to the data source ?

Yes, RAPID supports the ability to import tag definitions from CSV files to allow tag names to be created without needing to browse the data source (very useful where the data source does not support browsing). The format consists of a header, containing the names of the fields, followed by multiple rows containing the associated data.

table, td, th {
border: 1px solid black;
padding: 10px;
}
table {
border-collapse: collapse;
width: 100%;
}
th {
text-align: center;
}
