The main properties specific to Container Points are:
Point ID
When the point item is created, it is given a unique name, for example, POINT01,
POINT02, and so on. This identifier, known as the point ID, is used in PlantScape
whenever it is necessary to refer to a point in the server (for example, on a
custom display or in a report). Point IDs are also sometimes known as “tags” or
“tag names.”
Point IDs can be up to 16 characters long, and they must contain at least one
alpha character; for example, FIC123. Do not use spaces, tabs, periods (full
stops), or commas. Point IDs are not case-sensitive; POINT01 and point01
represent the same point.
If you will use this point in a recipe, the first two characters of the point ID must
be the descriptor of the unit that contains the point. For details about Recipes and
units, refer to “Configuring Recipes” on page 365.
