About Device Tags

Tags let you group devices locally in Iru Endpoint and can be used with Assignment Rules on both Classic Blueprints and Assignment Maps. Tags differ from an Asset Tag, which can also be set for a device but only supports one value and is usually used specifically for inventory purposes.

​
How It Works

Device tags allow you to organize and categorize devices for easier management and policy assignment. Tags can be used with Assignment Rules to automatically apply Library Items to devices based on their tag assignments.

​
Tagging a Device

To add one or more tags in Iru Endpoint, follow these steps.
1

Access the device record

Visit the device record you want to tag.
2

Edit device details

Click Edit device details.
3

Edit tags

Select Edit tags.
4

Select or create tags

From the dialog that appears, you can select one or more existing tags or type to create your first one — any tags you create become available for any and all devices in your Iru Endpoint tenant.

​
Managing Tags

Using the Manage tags menu, you can manage tags for your tenant from the Devices page. From here, you can:
  • Add new tags without assigning them to any devices
  • Rename tags
  • Delete tags if they’re not used in scoping rules
To access the Manage tags menu:
1

Navigate to devices

Click on Devices in the navigation menu on the left-hand side.
2

Open ellipsis menu

Click the ellipsis in the upper right corner of the Devices page.
3

Select manage tags

Select Manage tags.
4

Manage tags in modal

In the Manage tags modal, you can search for, add, edit, or delete tags.To edit or delete tags, click the ellipsis to the right of the tag and select Edit tag or Delete tag.
5

View tag usage

Tags that are used in rules cannot be deleted. To see where tags are being used in rules, select the ⓘ next to the ellipsis.

​
Adding or Removing Tags in Bulk

You can add or remove tags from devices in bulk using the Bulk Actions menu on the Devices Page.

Tags for Automated Device Enrollment

Tags can be applied to Automated Device Enrollment (ADE) devices before they enroll. The tags carry over to the enrolled device record and stay in sync both ways: updating an enrolled device’s tags updates the ADE record as well.
1

Navigate to Enrollment

Click Enrollment in the left-hand navigation.
2

Select Automated Device Enrollment tab

Ensure the Automated Device Enrollment tab is selected.
3

Select devices

Select the device(s) you would like to tag.
4

Assign tags

Click Assign tags.
5

Select tags

Select which tags to add or remove.
6

Confirm

Click Assign.
You can manage tags (add, rename, or delete them) by following the steps in the Managing Tags section. Tags assigned to ADE devices can be used in Blueprint Routing rules to route devices to Blueprints during enrollment.

​
Activity Logging

Updates to Tags are logged in the Device Record Activity, as well as in Global Activity.

To learn more about conditional logic, see Using Conditional Logic in Assignment Maps. Tags support the following operators, which are case-sensitive:
OperatorDefinition

are not exactlymatches against the entire tag set
contain one oflooks for one or more of the specified tags in the device’s entire tag set
does not contain one oflooks for one or more of the specified tags in the device’s entire tag set
