Labels Overview
Labels give you a flexible, customized way of categorizing elements in your system. You can apply labels to devices, subscribers, firmware, users, scripts, events, and announcements. Device Manager lets you create your own labels. You can think of labels as "buckets" that hold related items. Labels keep devices, subscribers, and users grouped together for easy interaction. You can:
- Create new labels and apply them to any pre-existing device or subscriber.
- Assign multiple labels to devices or subscribers.
For example, you can create a label that groups together all devices located in the same region. Then, when you need to run a script, report or Bulk Operation on devices in that region, you can use the label to quickly select those devices for processing.
Using Labels
You can use labels to:
- Group together devices, subscribers, or users so you can find them easily.
- Restrict devices to a particular operation. Use labels in conjunction with bulk operations.
- Apply to scripts. You can have the script set or remove labels for a device or subscriber.
- Alter the behavior of a script when it applies to a labeled item.
- Search for information. If you enter the label name in the Search field, everything with that label appears.
- You can apply labels to group devices that become faulty, or flag devices that have certain capabilities (such as voice). Using the Customer Support tab, you can apply labels to multiple subscribers or devices. Using the Device and Subscriber panes, you can apply a label to a single device or subscriber.
