Just wondering with the new function with targeting based on asset info, would it be possible to assign tags in bulk? For instance, making a location tag would be more logical now together with a policy that is targeting a specific set of machines.


I would like to tag machines for instance based on a preset in the hostname, but currently we must edit every device manually. Anyone found a workable solution to do this more efficiently because tagging cannot be done on initial installation of an agent.

Hey @Maikel!


Thanks for sharing this feedback. We are looking to add the ability to bulk apply tags soon, but, meanwhile, you can add tags via script that can be found here: Set Tags for All Computers in a Group.


You also mentioned setting tags by hostname. Another option that could work for you is to target devices by hostname! If you filter by the prefix for a hostname, the policy will run on all devices that have that prefix.


Hope those are some good tips for ya. Thank you so much for sharing your feedback!

Thanks that sounds great, i have found the worklet but i cannot apply it because i have machines of multiple locations is a group called clients and i only want a subset of those to assign a specific tag.


Also it would be nice if you could target specific worklets and policies based on installed software on the machine 😃
