Creating Tags

Tags allow you to display custom notations on your IT assets, helping you organize, filter, and gain valuable insights. In vScope, tags are categorized as either Managed by vScope or Managed by user.

Note

You need to have Contributor or Administrator permissions to manage tags.

vScope offers three methods for adding tags to your assets:

1. Manually

This method is used for quick notations and easy categorizations that need to be updated manually.

• In Tables: Right-click a row > Select Add Tag > Enter the tag name and value, and click Add Tag.
• In Properties: Find the input fields for manual tags on the right side of the screen.

2. By Rule/Filters (“Dynamic Tags”)

This method is ideal for dynamically adding or removing tags from assets based on defined filters. This is particularly useful for eg. classifying multiple data centers in different countries. Here is how it works:

• Go to Tags. This will take you to the Tags management page.
• Click Create Tag and then Select asset type for the tag (e.g., ‘All Machines’).
• In the Tag Definition section, start by naming your tag (e.g., ‘Data Center location’) and its value (e.g., ‘Sweden’). Note that you can also incorporate values from other tags to make this tag even more dynamic.
• In the Filters section, add the filters that define when the tag applies to the asset. For example, IPv4=192.168.11.0/24 (all devices on a specific network).
• Click Save.

Tip

You can quickly create a tag from Tables by simply clicking Create Tag.
