Tagging equipment in the Folio database with "equip" tags allows SkySpark (and Periscope) to understand what mechanical equipment the user has discovered. More specific equipment tags (such as elecMeter) can also give the software information on the specific type of equipment (an electric meter in this case). When these "equips" are paired with references to points, these systems will then know which points are "children" of said equipment and hierarchies can be automatically created in SkySpark and Periscope.

To tag equipment, users should select the equipment in either the Database view or SkySpark's own Builder app in a similar manner to the process of tagging sites. This process can be done in batch edits using the Axon scripting language as well. All equipment should receive the equip tag as a mandate, but complementary tags can and often should be added depending on the equipment type.

Below are links to Project Haystack tagging standards for common equipment types to help ensure you are using the correct tags on your equipment:

Assuming site and equip tags are in place, "Relations" should now be created to link points to their respective sites and equipment so that Niagara and Periscope know how the data is related. See Relations / Refs for more information on setting up these relationships.
