Defining Entity Tags

This portal is used to maintain an entity tag along with the list of entities associated with it. Entity tagging supports grouping of configuration, demo and test related entities so they can better describe a logical function. Each group is represented by a unique tag name and entities may be associated with multiple tags.

An entity tag may explicitly restrict the type of entities it can be associated with by referencing a specific maintenance object as part of the entity tag record.

You can access the portal from theAdmin Menu > Implementation Tools > Entity Tag. You are brought to a query portal with options for searching for a specific tag name. Once an entity tag has been selected you are brought to the maintenance portal to view and maintain the selected record.

A Tags dashboard zone allows you to review, add and remove tags for the current entity you review. For configuration type of entities, you may use this portal to tag multiple entities at once.

The following zones may appear as part of the portal's Main tab page

  • Entity Tag. This zone provides information about the selected entity tag.
  • Tagged Entities. This zone lists entities associated with the selected entity tag. You may also use the zone to remove entities from the list.
  • Tag Entities. Use this zone to add configuration entities to the selected tag.
