Organize devices: metadata, tags, and device groups

This section describes how to organize devices using device groups, device tags, and metadata.

Device groups

You can create groups within Remote Manager to organize your device inventory, and can assign devices to that group. You can also create a hierarchical structure of device groups to help organize your device inventory.

• Create device groups
• Add devices to a group
• Edit a device group
• Remove a device from a device group
• Show or hide device groups
• Remove a device group

Device tags

Remote Manager uses tags to categorize devices. You can sort devices by tags in screens that have a device list, such as the Devices page or when adding a schedule. This feature is useful if you want to create a set of devices that are in different device groups.

• Add device tags
• Edit device tags
• Remove a device tag

Device metadata

Metadata is unstructured information associated with a device, such as an informational note. Metadata can help to identify a device, find a device, or simply provide additional information about a device. It is searchable from the Remote Manager user interface.

• Add or edit device metadata
