Tags
Tags are Name : Value attributes on assets. Many tags, 1000+, are bundled in vScope and collected during discovery. However, you can add or import your own as you like. Tags are highly customizable and powerful, allowing for extensive customiation of your asset repository.
Structure
Section titled “Structure”Every tag has a Name and at least one Value (e.g., Operating System : Windows Server 2022). A tag belongs to one asset type, though relation-based tags can pull data across related assets.
Tags are either managed by vScope (read-only), or by users. As a user, you can create tags by defining a name, and selecting how to add a value:
- Discovery: add a value from an attribue in a datasource.
- Manual: add or input value by yourself.
- Import: import a value from CSV or XLXS file
- Relationship: automatically fetch a value from another tag from a related asset (Laptop → Application → Version)
Adding tags
Section titled “Adding tags”Tags are either manually added to assets, or by using rules.
Adding tags Manual (“by-hand”), is basically adding post-its to assets. They will never be removed or updated.
Adding tags using rules, a very powerful way to automate classifications and categorizations in your asset repository.
