    1. Why are there unit names and tag names in toolkit and what should they be used for?

    2. Why are tag names not the same in the database and the network even after a copy from network to database ?

    Unit Names are stored in the Unit and are limited to 8 chars eg "KITCHSW". They are useful for working out whats what when you scan a Network that you dont have the database for.

    A Tagname is stored in the database and can be quite long and descriptive eg "Kitchen 8 Gang Saturn (White), Eastern Wall".

    I'll look into point 2 and let you know.
