Tags System

Tags are a flexible and powerful way to organize and label your assets within TagoIO. Tags let you manage access and identify key components such as Devices, Actions, Analysis, Dashboards, and Users & Access rules.

Operating like key–value pairs, tags enable you to assign relevant metadata to your assets, such as:

  • names
  • descriptions
  • categories
  • locations
  • customers
  • products
  • and more

1. How to use tags​

Tags can be assigned to a wide range of components within TagoIO. They are typically available through a designated "Tag" tab when configuring assets that support label assignment.

Tag parameters​

ParameterDescription
KeyName of the parameter used as reference; you may also select an existing key.
ValueThe value you want to assign to your asset.

Maximum number of tags per asset​

The maximum number of tags that can be attached to a single asset is 30. If you attempt to add more than this limit, a notification will appear indicating that the maximum capacity has been reached.

Delete protection​

You can protect critical resources from accidental deletion by adding a special tag:

  1. Key: _delete_protection_
  2. Value: A custom error message to display when deletion is attempted

When this tag is present on a resource, any attempt to delete it will be blocked and result in an error or warning that you can customize.

Managing tags​

Tags can be managed from several sources:

  1. TagoIO Interface – Manually add or edit tags by clicking the asset and then selecting the Tags tab.
  2. Analysis SDK – Programmatically add or edit tags from an analysis script using methods such as account.devices.edit() or account.actions.edit().
  3. TagoIO API – Use REST API endpoints for each asset type to add or edit tags by sending HTTP requests with JSON payloads containing the tag information.

Common use cases​

  • Access Management: Assign a tag like _role: Manager_ to a user group and grant them access to all devices tagged with _customer: ACME Inc._.
  • Blueprint Dashboards: Create a dashboard that allows users to switch between devices by selecting any device with a specific tag, e.g., _device_type: Temperature Sensor_.

(Example UI: the screenshot shows a "Tags" tab with a table-like interface where you can add a tag key and enter its corresponding value. There are controls to add or remove tag rows and a Save button.)
