Tags allow users to create labels that can be applied to systems manually or automatically, based on the criteria assigned to the tag.

SIMILAR to IP SORTING criteria, you can use tags for automated sorting into groups. Tags are used to identify systems with similar characteristics. If you organize some of your groups by such characteristics, you can create and assign tags based on such criteria and use these tags as group sorting criteria to ensure these systems are automatically placed within the appropriate groups.

Tag functionality:

You can do the following with tags:

• APPLY one or more tags to one or more systems.
• Apply tags manually.
• Apply tags automatically, based on user-defined criteria, when the agent calls in.
• Exclude systems from tag application.
• Run queries to group systems with certain tags, then TAKE DIRECT actions on the resulting list of systems.
• Base System Tree sorting criteria on tags to place systems into the appropriate System Tree groups automatically.

Types of tags

There are two types of tags:

Tags without criteria : These tags can be applied only to selected systems in the System Tree (manually) and systems listed in the results of a query (manually or on a scheduled basis).

Criteria-based tags : These tags are applied to all non-excluded systems at each agent-server communication. Such tags use criteria based on any properties sent by agent. They can also be applied to all non-excluded systems on-demand.
