If you’ve been using CygNet for even a little while you will have heard discussion and seen presentations about the next CygNet HMI, Canvas.  With its impending official release this fall we want to start a multi-part series introducing you to some of Canvas’ new and exciting features.

In this first post post we will introduce the Tag Chooser.The Tag Chooser introduces a whole new way to find, filter, select, and apply Facilities and Points to other Canvas Controls.  It is one of the primary driving controls in Canvas and in future posts you will no doubt see it used to drive things like Grids, Charts, and Text Tools, so it seems only fitting to begin the first post with the Tag Chooser.
