Niagara - TagDictionaryService - Creating a dictionary
The document shows, in several points, the process of creating a custom tag dictionary:
The first step is to open the tagdictionary palette and add the TagDictionaryService service to the Services station.
In the TagDictionaryService, open the Tag Dictionary Manager view and click the New button at the bottom of the screen.
In the pop-up window, enter the name of the dictionary and in the Namespace slot its designation. It is recommended to use 1-2 characters in the Namespace slot, this makes it easier to work with SearchService later. The creation of a dictionary is confirmed with the OK button.
