Platform Tags are a simple to use but powerful feature that will enable you to advance the way you run a search, generate reports and control User permissions in Platform. This user guide explains the different types of Tags that are in Platform and how you can use them.
Tag types available in Platform
- Standard
- Pool
- You can assign multiple Tags to any one Asset/Fence/User
- You can assign multiple Assets/Fences/Users to a Tag
- All Tags are dynamic, meaning that as-soon-as you assign or un-assign a Tag it will be immediately reflected across Platform
- For Asset Restricted and Fence Restricted Tags this means that as-soon-as you assign or un-assign one of these Tags it will immediately affect the User accounts assigned with these Tag types
Standard Tags in Platform are designed to be used to group your Assets/Fences/Users by common or unique characteristics. By tagging your Assets/Fences/Users in this way it will allow you to search across Platform for these them outside of the Group/Departmental structure, providing extended functionality for searching and the filtering of reports.
Example: You may have a fleet of Utes in different Groups/Departments but some are dual-cab and some are single-cab and you would like to be able to filter the Map to show your assets based on this characteristic difference. In this case, you would follow these steps:
- Create a Tag called ‘single-cab’ and assign it to your single-cab Assets
- Create a Tag called ‘dual-cab’ and assign it to your dual-cab Assets
- On the Map, you will then be able to select either of the Tags in the search bar drop-down, which will filter the map to only show your Assets with the selected Tag
