Abstract

A user interface list control system having a supervisor user application providing tools to create, deploy, modify and monitor a multi-site enterprise of remote building management systems (BMS). BMS controllers may be configured to control or monitor similar entities across all sites. As site controller configurations are created, the user must identify each configuration item with a recognizable name and/or type tag that indicates function, definition, and/or location of the item. The user may be allowed or required to apply names and type string tags consistently across all multiple site configurations. Within the context of a single supervisor, multiple users may be allowed to utilize common lists of name and type tags. The user may apply an application-specific name and/or type tag to a configuration item, using a drop down list where the user can add a new string to a tag list or select a previously entered string tag.
