How do I add device tags?

Device tagging in WeGuard helps administrators better organize and manage devices by classifying devices based on department, location, ownership, or usage policies.

With the aid of tags, administrators may effectively identify, filter, or group devices.


Adding Tags

Before Enrollment

Method - 1

The administrator can add the admin-tagged name while adding a single device to the policy group.

  • Go to Policy, select the Policy.




  • Select the Devices tab, select the "+" button, and then enter the SIM number, admin-tagged name, and device IMEI.





Item

Description

Device IMEI

Every mobile device that is SIM-enabled will have the IMEI number registered with it. If the device is dual SIM enabled, it will have IMEI 1 and 2. This will be 15 Digits number

WeGuard will always use the SIM 1 IMEI number to register the device.

Devices without SIM will have serial numbers instead of IMEI, which can be used instead of IMEI while registering the devices in WeGuard.

ADMIN TAGGED NAME


Admin can tag the devices with easy identifiers to find the device or group the devices to manage them.

Registered SIM Number

A SIM number, also known as the IMSI (International Mobile Subscriber Identity), is a unique identifier assigned to a mobile phone user. It is stored on the SIM card. It will be a 19-20 digit number printed on the back of the SIM card.

Method - 2

Bulk Tags upload while uploading the devices into the WeGuard Policy.

  • Go to Policy Groups, select the Policy.




  • Select the Devices tab, click the Upload button next to the Add button, and then select the Sample file to download.

After Enrollment

Method - 3

INVENTORY ID

It is a unique Identifier which can be an Alpha-Numeric or Numeric one that helps the Admin to keep track of the asset within their organization's inventory.


This ID plays a crucial role in inventory control, asset tracking, and ensuring accurate record-keeping of all items within an organization.

ADMIN TAGGED NAME


Admin can tag the devices with easy identifiers to find the device or group the devices to manage them.

USER TAGGED NAME

This is user-defined and has to be added on the device end. 


  • Add the Tags as per your requirement and click on save.





Info
Result: Tags are assigned to the device as per the requirement.

Adding USER TAGGED NAME from the Device

  • Click on the Settings Icon (Cog Wheel Icon on the bottom Left)




  • Click on User Name and give the User Name in the field Specified then click on Continue.

      


  • Once the user adds the name in the device, it will be reflected in the WeGuard Console.




Notes
Note: As the user-tagged name is an end-user-defined name, it can’t be edited from the WeGuard Console.
Info
Now the Admins can use these tags to search the devices or group them as they require.
