Dynamic Tagging

Overview

Dynamic Tagging in BigFix SaaS Remediate allows administrators to automatically tag devices based on their attributes or properties. Unlike manual tagging, dynamic tags are assigned through automated rules and are continuously updated as device data changes. This significantly reduces the manual effort required to organize devices, particularly in environments where new endpoints are frequently added or modified.

This feature is similar to the concept of Automatic Computer Group and is fully integrated with the existing tag usage across Device Explorer.
