Tag: every tag is showed where it's used;
Location: every project location (pages, alarms..)
shows which tags are used.
Cross Reference pane shows:

All References
Invalid Tag reference
Unused tags
Possibility to replace Tags
in all occurrences

Unused Tags can be deleted
to cleanup project in final step
1. Filter by “Unused Tags”
2. Select Tags to be deleted
3. Press red “X” icon

Note: Tags can be used in JavaScript by composing
Tag name dynamically, within code cycles.
Such Tags are listed as “Unused Tags”.
Pay attention on deleting these Tags.

Indexed Tag Sets
Allow to dynamically attach a tag using an alias
Useful to duplicate same object but with different tags attached
Example: we have three engines, each one have rpm and oil

Indexed Tag Sets
Defining an Indexed Tag Set called "engine", driven by tag "engine_index",
allow me to "attach" the Alias "oil" or "rpm" instead of real tag
Use one "engine widget" instead of three
