Assign Tags to Assets

You can add static tags to images and containers to classify and organize them in your environment. You can also create a new tag on the fly and assign it to an asset. For detailed information about configuring asset tags, see Qualys CyberSecurity Asset Management: Tag Assets.

Currently, only static tags are supported for images and containers.

2. In the Select Tags dialog, search and select the tags you want to assign to the selected assets.

   Tip: Click Create New Tag to create a new static tag. For more information, see Qualys CyberSecurity Asset Management: Configure Tags.

3. Optional: In case of images, in the Cascade Selected Tags dialog, select the tags that you want to pass on to the containers associated with the selected images.

   The tags are assigned to the assets.

The tags are visible in the Tags column. To view the cascaded and non-cascaded tags for an asset, follow these steps:

   The following table explains the meaning of Cascaded and Non Cascaded tags when viewed in the image or container details:

   Tags	Image	Container
   Non Cascaded	These tags are assigned to the image and they are not inherited by the containers associated with the image.	These tags are directly assigned to the container.
   Cascaded	These tags are assigned to the image and they are inherited by the containers associated with the image.	These tags are inherited from the parent image.
