Tags

Asset administrators can define rules that will dynamically add tags to assets and asset accounts so that they can be easily identified and added to dynamic groups. Use the Administrative Tools | Settings | Asset Management | Tags pane to create and manage dynamic tags for assets and asset accounts.

In addition, Asset administrators can manually add tags to assets and accounts on the General tab of the Assets or Accounts view. For more information, see Manually adding a tag to an asset and Manually adding a tag to an account.

The Tags pane provides a centralized view of all the tags defined for assets and asset accounts, regardless of how they were assigned. It displays the following details.

Use these toolbar buttons to manage tags.
