System level tags can be edited from either the card view, the list view, or the Tags page. In the card view, tags can be added or deleted for an individual system by selecting Edit Tags after hovering the mouse over the tags icon. In the list view, tags can be added or deleted by selecting anywhere in the tags column for the system. Tags can be edited for multiple systems by selecting one or more systems in either the card or list view and selecting the Edit Tags button. The following shows an example of Security Office and Security DC systems selected and the Edit Tags button available.
When the Edit Tags button is selected, the Edit Tags window appears. The current tags are shown and can be deleted by selecting the blue X next to the key:value pair. New tags are added by providing a Key and Value. The following example shows adding a new tag called Department with a value of Security. Select Update Tags to save the changes.
Component level tags are created and modified in the Tags page from the Admin > Tags menu selection. The Tags page lists all configured tags and allows users to create new ones, delete existing ones, and perform the assigning and unassigning of tags to various assets.
Selecting Create displays the create tag window. The tag key and value are entered and then the user assigns the tags to one or more components. The following example shows an Owner tag with a value of Jim being assigned to various storage groups on the HR_REMOTE system.
Tags can be assigned to any of the following assets:
Tags are fully supported in custom reporting. By providing the ability to tag assets at component levels, users can create custom reports that display the tags and filter the reports on those tags. This allows customer specific reports to be created and delivered to appropriate individuals. Reports can be created for various business units or applications to provide storage utilization and show back information.
Existing tags can be assigned or unassigned to objects by selecting the tag in the Tags view and selecting the appropriate button. The following shows the Assign window for the ApplicationName:ERP_A tag.
Users first select the category of asset, in this case Hosts. Then they select the objects from that category, in this example ProdApp1_Host1 and ProdApp1_Host2.
The Show Hidden Systems toggle allows users to see systems that are filtered out from their view based on the settings in Your Account > Sites and Systems. See the CloudIQ Administration section for details.
