Managing device tags

Device tags are user-defined terms for a device. For example, you can add tags to identify new devices, test devices, groups of devices (e.g. Test, Development, Project 1), etc.

RULES:
Device tags are user-defined and are shared across all devices in the tenancy.
Each device can have multiple device tags.
If you remove a tag from a device and the tag is not assigned to any other devices, ONEDC deletes the tag. The tag will not appear in the dropdown tag list when adding a tag.

ONEDC shows device tags when you edit the device:
