You can create custom reports with tags. First, you’ll need to create tags to identify an item or group of characteristics you’d like to track, and then run reports using tags as a filter to see customized data for your environment.
You can assign tags to computers, applications, and users (with an option to anonymize user identity).
Examples:
- Computer tags: install year, manufacturer, model
- Application tags: license type, software package, type of application
- User tags: faculty, student grade level, accessibility needs

Viewing Tags
There is a Tags tab available on each of the Computers, Users and Applications sections. Each Tags page allows you to view the related tags that have been created (Computers > Tags will display all Computer Tags). If tags are clicked, the page will redirect to a list of the Computers, Users, and Applications associated with that specific tag. Click on the individual Computer, User, or Application to view and edit tags associated with that item.

Computer Manager
The Computer Manager list is capable of applying tags in bulk. Use the Search feature to find specific computers in the Computer Manager list. Search is not case sensitive.
Once Search is used to narrow down the results, the desired computers must be selected. To only select a few computers, checking the box next to each computer is adequate. However, the following bulk selection options are also available:
- Check All Filtered—This option allows the selection of all items matching the search criteria across all pages.
- Check All on Page—This option allows the selection of all items matching the search criteria on the current page. Items on any other pages will not be selected.
- Uncheck All—This option allows the current selection to be cleared.
- The Hardware Refresh drop-down list can be used to add tags to the selected computers.
