For more information about labels, see Managing manual labels.

Add software Smart Labels

Add software Smart Labels

You can add software Smart Labels on the Software page as needed. This is useful when you want to automatically group applications based on whether they meet the criteria of the Smart Label.

For example, you could use a Smart Label to group all copies of an application purchased from a particular vendor. The label would be applied automatically to applications you have already purchased from the vendor, as well as any you might purchase in the future. See Managing Smart Labels.

* 
NOTE: Smart Labels cannot be applied to applications on the Software Catalog page.
1.
Log in to the appliance Administrator Console, https://appliance_hostname/admin. Or, if the Show organization menu in admin header option is enabled in the appliance General Settings, select an organization in the drop-down list in the top-right corner of the page next to the login information.
2.
Select Inventory > Software to display the Software page.
3.
Click the Smart Label tab above the application list on the right to display the Smart Label panel.

The image displays the Smart Label panel with search criteria entered.

4.
Specify the criteria required to find applications from a particular vendor:
Vendor Contact | contains | Smith
5.
Click Test.
Items that match the specified criteria are displayed.
6.
Adjust the criteria as needed until the results are what you expect.
7.
In the Choose label drop-down list, do one of the following:
◦
Select an existing label to associate with the Smart Label. Type in the Choose label field to search for existing labels.
* 
NOTE: If you select a label group instead of a label, you will not be able to apply the Smart Label to a patching schedule. Patching schedules can only use Smart Labels based on a single item.
◦
Enter a new name for the Smart Label in the Choose label field, then press Enter or Return.
* 
NOTE: Press Enter or Return after you enter a new Smart Label name to move the text from the search field to the label field.
8.
Click Create.

Smart Labels are automatically applied to or removed from applications when the applications are updated on the Inventory > Software page, based on whether the applications meet the specified criteria.
