Applying User Labels to Managed Objects

User labels allow you to group managed objects on-screen and in the CSV reports that you can generate. You can also search for managed objects by user labels.

Some points to be aware of when working with user labels:

• User labels are entered on managed objects one at a time.

• User labels must be entered carefully. To ensure that it is possible to group managed objects on a user label, they must be entered in the same way for all managed objects that you want to group together under the label.

• User labels are not case-sensitive.

• User labels are saved with the managed objects in the Skylight orchestrator data store. After you add them, they will appear whenever you view the managed objects in the Inventory page.

1. Access the Inventory page.

2. Under Managed Object types, click the button.
