This section provides a simple example workflow to help you become familiar with SmartPlant Master Tag Registry. It outlines how you can allocate tags, get technical details from vendors for those tags, and generate a tag register.
Let's consider that you are a Project Data Coordinator or Project Engineer, and you want to generate a tag register with equipment tags to check the accuracy and consistency of tag numbering. You also want expedite operational readiness and perform asset management. Using SmartPlant Master Tag Registry workflows you can easily create tags and generate tag registers.
