The Attribute Name to ID Conversion Wizard resolves and merges all point names in the trend database. The wizard is activated when you select the Convert Attribute Names to IDs for Trend link in the MetasysIII installation folder previously discussed in Launching Attribute Name to ID Conversion Tool.
The wizard automatically resolves all point names with attribute names in US English. The tool also manually resolves and merges point names with non-English attribute names.
Figure 1 shows an example of the Attribute Name to ID Conversion Wizard when it has been launched. The button options are described in detail in Table 1.
Note: In order to prevent you from accidentally closing the tool and leaving the database in an
incomplete state, the wizard has no exit or minimize button. You cannot close the wizard
unless you complete the database conversion or click the Cancel and Exit
(Lose Changes) button.
