Tags and systems with similar characteristics

Prev Next

You can use tags and tag groups to automate sorting into groups.

Tags identify systems with similar characteristics. If you can organize your groups by characteristics, you can create and assign tags based on that criteria. Then you use these tags as group sorting criteria to ensure that systems are automatically placed within the appropriate groups.

If possible, use tag-based sorting criteria to automatically populate groups with the appropriate systems. Plus, to help sort your systems, you can create tag groups nested up to four levels deep, with up to 1,000 tag subgroups in each level. For example, if you can organize your systems using geographic location, chassis type (server, workstation, or laptop), platform (Windows, Macintosh, Linux, or SQL), and user, you might have the tag groups in this table.
