Access a Tag Alias

About this task

After you rename a tag, the old name is called the tag alias. You can retrieve tag data using the tag alias as well. When you copy a tag, the tag alias is also captured to aid in an audit trail.
Note: If a tag name contains a comma or a semicolon, you cannot view the tag alias.
