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.


How to Use the WeGuard Enterprise Portal to Add 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 Groups, 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 which 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 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 device 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 19-20 Digits number printed on the back of the SIM Card.
