Drag-and-Drop Tags to Web Pages

The In-Sight ViDi adapter allows you to quickly and easily create configured WebPage Elements in the Web Page Editor by dragging-and-dropping the In-Sight ViDi PC Tags and $ Functions and other application components from the Tags Window onto a WebPage.

When dragging-and-dropping tags, the adapter automatically generates the WebPage elements associated with the application components that are dragged-and-dropped onto the WebPage, as shown in the example below. (Reload the page to play the GIF from the beginning, or right-click on it and open it in a new window or browser tab.)
