The Apply Tag command in the Main Window lets you assign tags to network elements and to protective devices. Tags give you a power tool to manipulate groups of network elements and protective devices that are related for some purpose. Once you assign a tag to a number of objects, you can manipulate them as a group with a single push of a button within the Tag Browser (Network | Tag Browser command):
•Delete them.
•Take them in or out of service.
Tags can also be used to:
•Identify line pairs that share a circuit breaker at a bus. (See Faults | Line Fault Summary command.)
•Give a special color to certain network elements. (See Diagram | Color | Special Color Code command.)
