Tags

In Tenable Inventory, you can add your own business context to assets by tagging them with descriptive metadata. An asset tag is primarily composed of a Category:Value pair. For example, if you want to group your assets by location, create a Location category with the value Headquarters. For more information about tag structure, see Tag Format and Application.
