Using tag registers, you can compile information originating from various disciplines
and data sources, at various points during a project. A tag register is a Microsoft
Excel file or ASCII file that contains information about tag numbers and tag details
from CDW domain, linking together data published by all the authoring tools. The properties
of the tag selected on the report definition are included in the register, based on
settings defined in the register definition.
If any changes are made to the tag data in the authoring domain, you must create
a new snapshot of the document and publish it before you can generate a tag register
with updated data.
Tag registers are generated using register documents. When you generate a tag register
on a register document, a new version of the document is created, and the tag register
is attached to that new version.
You can continuously monitor data required for handover by scheduling the regeneration
of tag registers. Using scheduled tasks, you can have the software automatically generate
tag registers at a later time, on a recurring schedule, as necessary. You can then review these registers and use color coding to easily find the added,
deleted, or modified tags.

Allows you to generate tag registers using the register documents.
Register document name - Displays the name of the register document for which you will generate the tag

that you specify.
Recur every - Allows you to select the interval of recurrence for the tag register generation.
Set Expiration date-time - Allows you to specify the time and date when you want the scheduled task to stop
running.
Select comparison version - Allows you to select a previous version of the tag register with which to compare
the new version you are creating.
This option is available only if the Show change status column option is selected for the register definition you are using. For more information,
