Adding labels to multiple devices

You can add labels to multiple devices while managing the table of devices.

Also when managing the network interactions map and the topology map, you can add labels to devices known to the application, represented by nodes on the maps. You can select nodes either individually or as part of collapsed groups that include the required devices. When you select a collapsed group, all devices in child groups at all nesting levels also end up in the selection.

To add labels to multiple devices while managing the table:

1. Use the web interface to connect to the Central Node with the Senior security officer role.
2. Select the Assets section.
3. On the Devices tab, select the devices to which you want to add labels.
4. Right-click one of the selected devices to open the context menu.
5. In the context menu, select Add labels.

   This opens the Add labels window.

6. In the Labels field, enter the text descriptions that you want to use as labels. To separate the labels, you can use newline by pressing ENTER or the semicolon character (;).

   You can use uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, the space character, and the following special characters: ! @ # № $ % ^ & ( ) [ ] { } ' , . - _.

   The label name must satisfy the following requirements:

   • Begins and ends with any character other than a space.
   • Is unique in the list of that device's labels (case-insensitive).
   • Contains 1 to 255 characters.
7. If necessary, click Copy labels to copy the list of labels. The link is displayed if the list of labels is not empty.
8. If you want to clear the current lists of labels for selected devices and provide only new labels for these devices, select the Delete existing check box.

   If the Delete existing check box is cleared, the current list of labels will remain on each device. The new tags are appended to the lists of labels on all selected devices. For some of the selected devices, this may cause the total number of labels to exceed the limit (up to 16 labels for each device). The application checks the limit before adding new tags.

9. Click OK.

   The button is not available if the names of entered labels do not meet the requirements, or if the list of labels is empty while the Delete existing check box is cleared.

To add labels to multiple devices while managing the maps:

1. Use the web interface to connect to the Central Node with the Senior security officer role.
2. Select the Network map section.
3. On the Network interactions map or Topology map tab, select the relevant nodes of known devices and/or collapsed groups.

   To select multiple nodes and/or groups, do one of the following:

   • Press and hold the SHIFT key, then use the mouse to select a rectangular area with the objects that you want to select.
   • Press and hold the CTRL key and click every object that you want to select.
4. Right-click one of the selected objects to open the context menu.
5. In the context menu, select Add labels.

   This opens the Add labels window.
