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 Automatic labeling based on advanced search criteria under the Labels section to display the Smart Labels page.
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.
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.
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.
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.
a.
On the left navigation bar, click Inventory, then click Devices.
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.

d.
With OR selected in the operator drop-down list, click Add Line, then specify the criteria required for the Windows 8 operating system:
e.
In the Choose label drop-down list, type a name for the label, such as Win78, then click Smart Label.
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:
b.
In the Choose label drop-down list, type a name for the label, such as MissingVirusScan, then click Smart Label.
a.
In the Smart Label panel on the Devices page, specify the criteria to identify devices with the Win78 Smart Label applied:
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:
c.
In the Choose label drop-down list, type a name for the label, such as Win78MissingVirusScan, then click Smart Label.
a.
On the left navigation bar, in the Home section, click Label Management.

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.

Select or clear the Remote Control check box to enable or disable remote control 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.
CAUTION:
 
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.

Setting up labels for user accounts

Setting up labels for user accounts

You can use labels to group user accounts the same way you use labels to group devices and software in the Inventory section. In addition, you can use Smart Labels to grant levels of access to users. For example, you could use labels to designate who can submit, accept, reject, work on, and resolve Service Desk tickets.

Additionally, any labels you create in the Inventory section can work as user labels in Service Desk, provided that you created those labels without restrictions. If the labels were created with restrictions, you can modify them, or create labels in the Inventory sections without restrictions.

Add an All Ticket Owners label

To give users permission to own Service Desk tickets, you can create an All Ticket Owners label that you can apply to user accounts.

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 Automatic labeling based on advanced search criteria under the Labels section to display the Smart Labels page.
