Beacon Tags

Device tags can be used to group or classify your devices depending on your needs. You can use tags to identify where are the beacons located within a venue, what are they being used for or any purpose you might give them. Think of the device tags as virtual labels for your beacons. 

You can create a maximum of 20 tags per device. All tags must be lower case, include no space or special characters and can't be longer than 32 characters. If you try to create this tag: "Front door&window" the resulting tag will be 'frontdoorwindow' as the panel will transform the input value into an accepted one.

It is possible to create tags for a single device, or select multiple devices to add the same tags for all the selected.

For a single device, simply go to the detail view of the device, under the General section, below the general settings you will find the device tags. Simply input there the tags you need for your device.
