Tag number
Allows you to type a tag number or select anywhere in this box, and then select Find to open the Find Items dialog. The item number that you select is then displayed in this box.
If you type an instrument tag number and select OK, you might receive a message that such an instrument does not exist. You can create
a new instrument tag on the fly, provided that you set preferences accordingly. To
be able to create instrument tags in the Specifications module, on the Preferences dialog, on the Specifications > General page, under Tag creation, select Allowed.
