Managing Smart Labels

Add Smart Labels
Example: Combine Smart Labels to identify devices
Edit Smart Labels
Setting up labels for user accounts
Using Smart Labels for patching
Using Smart Labels with Discovery Results
Adding Smart Labels for devices

Delete Smart Labels

You can add Smart Labels for devices, applications on the Software page, patches, Discovery Results, and Dell Update packages.

Smart Labels cannot be created for applications on the Software Catalog page.

Add Smart Labels

Add Smart Labels

You can add Smart Labels from the Labels section and from list pages where Smart Labels are used, such as the Devices list.

1.
Go to the Label Detail page:
a.
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.
b.
On the left navigation bar, in the Home section, click Label Management.
c.
On the Label Management panel, click Smart Labels.
d.
Select Choose Action > New > Smart Label type.
The appliance displays the Smart Label criteria for the type of label that you selected. For example, if you select New > Software Smart Label, the software criteria are displayed. If you select New > Device Smart Label, the Devices criteria are displayed.
2.
Specify the search criteria using the available fields.
◦
To add a row, click Add line.
◦
To add a subset of rules, select AND or OR from the operator drop-down list at the right of the Smart Label criteria, then click Add Group.

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

3.
Click Test to display items that match the specified criteria.
4.
Adjust the criteria as needed until the results are what you expect.
5.
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.
6.
Click Save.

Example: Combine Smart Labels to identify devices

Example: Combine Smart Labels to identify devices

This example demonstrates how to combine three Smart Labels to identify devices running Windows 7 or Windows 8 that do not have the McAfee® VirusScan® application installed.

The following are the three Smart Labels created in this example:

•
The first Smart Label, Win78, is applied to devices that have Windows 7 or Windows 8 operating systems. This label has a run order of 1.
•
The second Smart Label, MissingVirusScan, is applied to devices that do not have the VirusScan application installed. This label also has a run order of 1.
•
The third Smart Label, Win78MissingVirusScan, is applied to devices that have both the Win78 and MissingVirusScan Smart Labels applied. This label has a run order of 2, so that it runs after the first two labels.
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.
Create a device Smart Label to identify the operating system:
a.
On the left navigation bar, click Inventory, then click Dashboard.
b.
Click the Smart Label tab above the list on the right.
The Smart Label panel appears.

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

c.
Specify the criteria required for the Windows 7 operating system:
Operating System: Name | contains | Windows 7
d.
With OR selected in the operator drop-down list, click Add Line, then specify the criteria required for the Windows 8 operating system:
Operating System: Name | contains | Windows 8
e.
In the Choose label drop-down list, type a name for the label, such as Win78, then click Smart Label.
3.
Create a device Smart Label to find devices that are missing the VirusScan application:
a.
In the Smart Label panel on the Devices page, specify the criteria required to find devices that do not have the VirusScan application installed:
Software: Software Titles | does not contain | VirusScan
b.
In the Choose label drop-down list, type a name for the label, such as MissingVirusScan, then click Smart Label.
4.
Create a device Smart Label that uses the Smart Labels created in the preceding steps.
5.
Create a Smart Label for the application:
a.
In the Smart Label panel on the Devices page, specify the criteria to identify devices with the Win78 Smart Label applied:
Device Identity Information: Label Names | = | Win78
b.
With AND selected in the operator drop-down list, click Add Line, then specify the criteria to identify devices with the MissingVirusScan Smart Label applied:
Device Identity Information: Label Names | = | MissingVirusScan
c.
In the Choose label drop-down list, type a name for the label, such as Win78MissingVirusScan, then click Smart Label.
6.
Set the order in which to run the Smart Labels:
a.
On the left navigation bar, in the Home section, click Label Management.
b.
On the Label Management panel, click Smart Labels.
c.
Select Choose Action > Order Labels > Device Smart Labels.
The Order Device Smart Labels page appears.
d.
Click the Edit button at the far right in the Win78 label row: .
e.
In the Order column, type 1, then click Save.
f.
Click the Edit button at the far right in the MissingVirusScan label: .
g.
In the Order column, type 1, then click Save.
h.
Click the Edit button at the far right in the Win78MissingVirusScan label row: .
i.
In the Order column, type 2, then click Save.
j.
Click Save at the bottom of the list.
The Win78 label and the MissingVirusScan label are set to run before the Win78MissingVirusScan label. This ensures that Windows 7 and 8 devices that are missing the VirusScan application are labeled before the Win78MissingVirusScan label runs.

Edit Smart Labels

Edit Smart Labels

You can change the SQL queries used in Smart Labels as needed.

When you change the SQL query used for a software Smart Label, the Smart Label is applied to or removed from items immediately, based on whether the items meet the new criteria. Device Smart Labels are applied to or removed from devices when the device’s inventory information is updated.

If you manually edit the SQL of a Smart Label, you can no longer edit the label using the Smart Label template. This is because the template cannot be used to edit custom SQL.

1.
Go to the Label Detail page:
a.
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.
b.
On the left navigation bar, in the Home section, click Label Management.
c.
On the Label Management panel, click Smart Labels.
d.
Click the name of a Smart Label, or click the Edit button to the left of the Smart Label name.
* 
NOTE: If the SQL of the Smart Label has been edited manually, the Edit button is not displayed.
2.
Do any of the following:
◦
Select or clear the Enable Metering check box to enable or disable metering for device Smart Labels.
◦
In the Assigned Label field, select the label you want to associate with the Smart Label.
◦
Click Details to go to the detail page for the assigned label.
◦
If the Smart Label was created using the Smart Label template, and the SQL has not been edited manually, click the link next to using the original editor.
◦
To edit the Smart Label SQL manually, click the link next to using this editor.
* 
CAUTION: If you manually edit the SQL of a Smart Label, you can no longer edit the label using the Smart Label template. This is because the wizard cannot be used to edit custom SQL.
3.
Optional: Click Duplicate to create a new Smart Label that uses the same SQL query.
4.
Click Save.
* 
NOTE: When you click Duplicate to create a label, you can assign it to a new label only.
