Move a Tag to Another Data Store

  5. In the Data Store field, select the data store to which you want to move the tag.

  6. Select Yes, and then select Update.
    The tag has been moved. The new data for the tag will be stored in the new data store. However, if you want to store the old data as well in the new data store, you must manually migrate the tag data.
