The binding property is a string tag that displays binding information for
the selected component.
Data point binding [➙ 55]
● For components with absolute binding, the ID for a specific data point in
the database is displayed. For example, id == @20a3572b-28b7e002.
● For components with relative binding, a query string is displayed. For
example, equipRef==$id and (point or shadowPoint) and cmd and
position and vavDischarge.

Property type
Click the icon to change the property type or remove the tag from the selected
component. The following property types are available:
MARKER is a simple tag with only a name; it has no associated
value. For example, point or valve or plant.
STRING is a property tag with a value that is a string. For example,
engNotation==”WestBoiler” contains the tag engNotation, and its string
value is “WestBoiler”.
