    • Type and select filter parameters.

    • To display all tags, leave the boxes blank.

  4. Select Find.

    • For tags for which you defined multiple cases, each case is displayed in a separate row, which allows you to select one or more cases of a given tag for calculation.

    • To utilize the entire dialog to display the results, select Show more search results.

  5. Select the tags that you want to calculate, and select OK.

  6. In the Batch Calculation window, for each tag for which you want to display or edit calculation parameters, select the tag and do the following:

    2. Type and select data you want to change for the calculation, and select OK to return to the Batch Calculation window.
