Organizing Devices with Tags

A Tag is a key/value pair that is applied to a device to trigger a cloud action from multiple device streams. Device tags are automatically added by Octave in the metadata of device-generated events.

For example, Tags can assist with mass deployment and permissioning (e.g., to apply a Blueprint to all devices tagged with a given name/value pair).

The following steps describe how to create a Tag:

1. Navigate to Device > Details.
2. Navigate to Identity.
3. Select a key and value from the Category and Value dropdowns.
4. Click Add Tag to add the tag to the device.
5. (Optional) Repeat the steps above for additional tags.

The following steps describe how to remove a tag:

1. Navigate to Device > Details.
2. Navigate to Identity.
3. Locate the Tag to remove and click the X button on that Tag.
