How to Use the Tag Manager App in Menuboard Manager
Tags are labels you apply to units — individual media players in your network — to organize them by any criteria that matters to your operation, such as location, store type, region, or hardware configuration. Once applied, tags serve three main purposes in Menuboard Manager:
Group membership — Groups are defined by tags, not by manually selecting units. When you add a tag to a Group, every unit carrying that tag is automatically included. Publishing to a group pushes content to all matching units simultaneously, making tags the mechanism behind any multi-unit deployment.
Filtering and bulk management — In the Units Manager, tags let you filter your fleet down to a targeted subset — for example, all units in a specific city or on a particular hardware platform — so you can apply bulk actions like reboots, reloads, or content updates without affecting unrelated units.
Reports — When building a Unit Report, you can use tags as filter criteria to scope results to a specific slice of your network. From the report results, you can also run mass tag and remove-tag actions across many units at once.
The Tag Manager app gives you a single location to create, view, and delete all the tags in your account.
Add a new Tag
Select the Tag Manager app from the app list.
Click the Add Tag button in the top right corner.
Enter the name of the tag and click Save.
Tags display in the order they were created — newest tags appear at the bottom of the list. The list is not sorted alphabetically.
Delete a Tag
Warning: Deleting a tag is permanent and cannot be undone. Before deleting, consider the downstream effects:
Groups lose members — If a Group uses the deleted tag to define its membership, those units are immediately removed from the Group. Any future publish to that Group will miss those units, and content may go out of date on screens that were previously covered.
Units lose their tag silently — The tag is removed from every unit it was applied to. There is no notification or log entry on the unit records. You won't know which units were affected unless you had a record before deleting.
Reports and filters break — Any saved report using the deleted tag as a filter criterion will return no results for that condition. Mass actions built on those reports will no longer reach the intended units.
Select the Tag Manager app from the app list.
Select the tag you want to delete.
Click the Delete Tag button in the top right corner.
