Application
This blueprint establishes meta tag labels for assets. This allows assets to be filtered and analysed by labels such as asset class or attached technology.
Create Meta Tags
This page contains a navigation bar at the top right and a grid to edit existing Meta Tags or create new Meta Tags. The Meta Tag Type column is an additional identifier for what the Meta Tag will modify.
By default, the Meta Tag Type list will include the “Recommendation”, “Asset”, or “All” descriptor depending on how the Meta Tag and Values will be used.
Create Meta Tag Values
Similar to the Create Meta Tags page, the user will either select a Meta Tag from the drop down and enter a unique Meta Tag Value or select a Meta Tag Value from the grid to edit.
Assign Meta Tag and Label
The user will click on a specific asset to assign Meta Tag Values to the asset. Dropdown menus will then appear. If the value has already been assigned, the value will appear; if not, then the value will be empty.
The user must assign all values to all tags before they will be allowed to save. By default, when a Meta Tag is created, a value of Not Allocated is also created. The user should select this option if a Meta Tag is not required for an asset as it signifies that user reviewed the entry and assigned a value.
Reference Table
The reference Table shows all the assigned and unassigned assets, Meta Tags, and Meta Tag Values.
