To define a Genie, you use substitution strings for the properties of the objects that will be specific to each instance. You can use substitution strings for any text property in any object (in the group of objects). To specify a piece of text as a substitution string, enclose the string between percentage (%) characters.
For STRING variable type substitutions enclose the %% in quotation marks e.g. “%label%”, so that CitectSCADA does not read it as a tag.
Note: You are not restricted to using only
variable tags as substitution strings. Any expression
can be substituted, such as
constants or labels. Only fields that accept text can have Genie
tag substitutions. You can also define substitutions to variables
that aren't in the current project by using the IFDEF function.
