Use tags

Tags are a way of classifying devices enrolled in SMART Remote Management. For example, you could use tags to identify:

  • Which devices are SMART Board interactive displays, which are computers, and which are mobile devices

  • Where devices are located

  • The intended purposes of the devices

  • The department, team, or group that uses the devices

Assigning tags to devices is a prerequisite for creating groups. You can use tags, along with groups, to filter devices in the Devices view.

Typically, you assign tags to devices when you first enroll those devices in SMART Remote Management. After enrolling devices, you can also assign tags to them in the Devices view.

Notes 

  • By default, tags are not synchronized automatically when you enroll a device. The tags that appear in SMART Remote Management do not reflect changes you make directly to the device.

  • The enrollment wizard includes an option to make sure the tags displayed in SMART Remote Management for a device match those defined on the device during daily synchronization. For example:

    Time

    Tags (as displayed in SMART Remote Management)

    Tags (as defined on the device)

    Before daily synchronization

    Classroom – Math – Grade 5

    Classroom – Math – Grade 5 – Interactive – Tablet

    After daily synchronization

    Classroom – Math – Grade 5 – Interactive – Tablet

    Classroom – Math – Grade 5 – Interactive – Tablet
