Server Search

2min

The Server Search option allows you to do a search of available tags for your device and then add those tags to the DeviceHub device.



Note: To use Server Search, you must know the tag names you want to add to your DeviceHub device and search for them before adding them. To view all available tags for a device before adding them, you can use Browse Tags instead.

To use the server search:

  1. From the Tags pane, click the Add icon, and then select Server Search. The Server Search dialog box appears.
