Tagging Devices in Saner CVEM for Easy Management and Organization

Overview:
In Saner CVEM, tags act as labels that you can attach to your resources to make them easier to manage and organize. Each tag consists of a key and a value, and together they provide useful context about your resources.

For example, you might tag resources based on:

• Region

• Service type

• Accessibility (e.g., public vs. private)

• Any other criteria relevant to your organization

Saner CVEM comes with a set of default tags, but you can also create your own custom tags to meet the specific needs of your environment. By applying tags, you can quickly search, filter, and categorize resources, making day-to-day management much simpler and more efficient.

Saner CVEM supports two types of tags:

• Saner Default Tags – Predefined and ready to use.

• User-defined (Custom) Tags – Created and managed manually by users.
