Tags Page: Overview
Summary: A high-level overview of the Tags page in Ivanti Neurons.
The Tags view provides a single pane of glass to drive effective remediation and track remediation efforts for projects, regulatory compliance, configuration management databases (CMDB), or other use cases. You can apply tags to specific assets and findings and filter directly those tagged items in any system or custom dashboard.
In addition to using filtered dashboard for prioritization and reporting, you can explicitly set up remediation projects with tags and track them on the Tags page. The Ivanti Neurons platform lets you create new tags that define remediation projects with a specific duration. You may also add new findings to a project by propagating tags on assets to all findings, automatically accounting for any recently discovered findings on those assets.
The Tags page allows displaying, creating, editing, and deleting tags. The page also provides a summary of activities involving all previously created tags.
The Tags page’s data updates on a nightly basis. For more information on when it updates, add the Data Refresh column to the Tags page.
