You can set up manual labels, Smart Labels, LDAP Labels, and label groups to manage groups of items, such as devices.

About organization filters

Labels are containers that enable you to organize and categorize items, such as devices, so that you can manage them as a group.

For example, you can use labels to identify devices that have the same operating system or that are in the same geographic location. You can then initiate actions, such as distributing software or deploying patches, on all of the devices that in that label. Labels can either be manually assigned to specific items or automatically assigned to items when they are associated with criteria, such as SQL or LDAP queries. You can apply labels to these types of items:

•
Inventory items, such as devices, applications, processes, startup items, and services
•
Asset items, such as location, license, and vendor
•
Discovery results
•
Patches
•
Dell Update Packages
•
Users

Manual labels are applied and removed manually, whereas Smart Labels and LDAP Labels are applied and removed automatically. See:

About Smart Labels

About Smart Labels

Smart Labels are labels that are applied and removed automatically based on specified criteria.

For example, to track or manage laptops in a specific location, such as the San Francisco office, you could create Smart Label named San Francisco Office based on the IP address range or subnet of devices in that location. When devices are inventoried, the Smart Label, San Francisco Office is automatically applied to devices in the IP address range. When devices leave the IP address range and are inventoried again, the label is automatically removed.

Smart Labels are applied to and removed from managed devices when the appliance processes device inventory. So if you create a Smart Label that enables metering on devices, it might take time for the Smart Label to be applied to devices and for devices to report metering information. Metering is enabled for devices that match the Smart Label criteria only after the appliance processes device inventory and the Smart Label is applied.

About LDAP Labels

About LDAP Labels

LDAP Labels are labels that interact with LDAP servers. These labels are automatically assigned to device and user records using LDAP queries or search filters.

There are two types of LDAP Labels:

•
Device: Labels applied to device records. This is useful if you want to automatically group devices by name, description, and other LDAP criteria. Each time a device is inventoried, this query runs against the LDAP server. the admin value in the Search Filter field is replaced with the name of the user that is logged in to the device. If a result is returned, the device is assigned the label specified in the Associated Label Name field.
•
User: Labels applied to user records. This is useful if you want to automatically group users by domain, location, budget code, or other LDAP criteria. LDAP Labels are applied to or removed from user records when users are imported to the appliance manually or according to a schedule.
