# Tags for Devices

> Create and apply tags to devices in Iru Endpoint for filtering and organization. Group devices by location, department, or custom criteria using tags.

<Callout icon="earth-americas" color="#B84A7A" iconType="regular">This guide applies to all device platforms</Callout>

### About Device Tags

Tags let you group devices locally in Iru Endpoint and can be used with Assignment Rules in [Assignment Maps](/en/endpoint/getting-started/blueprints-and-library/configuring-blueprints). 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.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Access the device record">
    Visit the device record you want to tag.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Edit device details">
    Click **Edit device details.**
  </Step>

  <Step title="Edit tags">
    Select **Edit tags**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="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.
  </Step>
</Steps>

### 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:

<Steps>
  <Step title="Navigate to devices">
    Click on **Devices** in the navigation menu on the left-hand side.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Open ellipsis menu">
    Click the **ellipsis** in the upper right corner of the Devices page.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Select manage tags">
    Select **Manage tags**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="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**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="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.
  </Step>
</Steps>

### 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.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Select devices">
    Select the radio buttons next to the devices for which you want to edit tags.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Open bulk actions menu">
    Click the **Bulk Actions menu**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Select edit tags">
    Select **Edit Tags**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Configure tag changes">
    In the modal that appears, choose the tags you want to add and remove.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Save changes">
    Click **Save**.
  </Step>
</Steps>

### 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.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Navigate to Enrollment">
    Click **Enrollment** in the left-hand navigation.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Select Automated Device Enrollment tab">
    Ensure the **Automated Device Enrollment** tab is selected.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Select devices">
    Select the device(s) you would like to tag.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Assign tags">
    Click **Assign tags**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Select tags">
    Select which tags to add or remove.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Confirm">
    Click **Assign**.
  </Step>
</Steps>

You can manage tags (add, rename, or delete them) by following the steps in the [Managing Tags](#managing-tags) section.

Tags assigned to ADE devices can be used in [Blueprint Routing](/en/endpoint/enrollment/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 on the [Activity Page](/en/endpoint/devices/activity-page).

### Using Tags with Conditional Logic

To learn more about conditional logic, see [Using Conditional Logic in Blueprints](/en/endpoint/blueprints/assignment-maps/using-conditional-logic-in-blueprints).

Tags support the following operators, which are case-sensitive:

| **Operator**              | **Definition**                                                             |
| ------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `are exactly`             | matches against the entire tag set                                         |
| `are not exactly`         | matches against the entire tag set                                         |
| `contain one of`          | looks for one or more of the specified tags in the device's entire tag set |
| `does not contain one of` | looks for one or more of the specified tags in the device's entire tag set |
