Asset inventories grow fast. Asset Inventory tagging and filtering support faster operations across large inventories. Tags help teams group assets by internal structure, ownership, environment, or custom taxonomy. Tags group assets for ownership, reporting, scoping, and internal alignment. Filters help teams narrow views to the exact set of assets needed for scoping, reporting, and day-to-day management.
Categories & Tags
Categories and Tags attach structured context to assets. The Asset Inventory comes with built-in categories and tags such as Technology and Region. You may also create custom tag categories and custom tags. Common ways teams use tags:
Map assets to a business unit or product line
Mark tiering, such as Tier 0, Tier 1, Tier 2
Identify the environment, such as Production, Staging
Track ownership such as team, cost center, vendor
