Adding and removing labels for devices

Expand all | Collapse all

You can assign any user-defined labels to devices.

A device label contains a text description that helps you quickly find or filter devices in the table. Any convenient text descriptions can be saved as labels. You can assign up to 16 labels for a device. Each device can have its own set of labels.

Lists of device labels are displayed in the devices table in the Labels column. Labels in a cell are sorted in alphabetical order.

Only users with the Administrator role can add or remove labels for devices.

Labels can be added or removed in the following ways:

• Adding labels for one device
  1. Connect to the Kaspersky Industrial CyberSecurity for Networks Server through the web interface using the Administrator account.
  2. Select the device in the Assets section on the Devices tab or in the Network map section.

     In the Network map section, you can select a device for adding a label on both the network interactions map and the topology map.

     The details area appears in the right part of the web interface window.

  3. Click the Edit button.

     In the details area, go to the Settings tab.

  4. In the Labels field, enter the text descriptions that you want to use as labels. To separate labels, you can use the ENTER key or the ; character.

     You can use uppercase and lowercase letters, numerals, a space, and the following special characters: ! @ # № $ % ^ & ( ) [ ] { } ' , . - _.

     A label name must meet the following requirements:

     • Must begin and end with any permitted character except a space.
     • Unique in the list of device labels (not case-sensitive).
     • Contains from 1 to 255 characters.
  5. If necessary, use the Copy labels link to copy the list of labels. The link is displayed if the list of labels is not empty.
  6. Click Save.

     This button is unavailable if not all required information is specified in the device settings or if invalid values have been defined. The tab containing settings requiring corrected values is marked by the icon.

• Adding labels for multiple devices

  You can add labels for multiple devices when working with the devices table.

  When working with the network interactions map and the topology map, you can add labels for known devices represented by nodes on the maps. You can select the relevant nodes individually or as part of collapsed groups that include the relevant devices. When a collapsed group is selected, all devices in the child groups of any nesting level are also included in the device selection.

  To add labels for multiple devices when working with the table:

  1. Connect to the Kaspersky Industrial CyberSecurity for Networks Server through the web interface using the Administrator account.
  2. Select the Assets section.
  3. On the Devices tab, select the devices for which you want to add labels.
  4. Right-click to open the context menu of one of the selected devices.
  5. In context menu select Add labels.

     The Add labels window opens.

  6. In the Labels field, enter the text descriptions that you want to use as labels. To separate labels, you can use the ENTER key or the ; character.

     You can use uppercase and lowercase letters, numerals, a space, and the following special characters: ! @ # № $ % ^ & ( ) [ ] { } ' , . - _.

     A label name must meet the following requirements:

     • Must begin and end with any permitted character except a space.
     • Unique in the list of device labels (not case-sensitive).
     • Contains from 1 to 255 characters.
  7. If necessary, use the Copy labels link to copy the list of labels. The link is displayed if the list of labels is not empty.
  8. If you want to clear the current lists of labels for selected devices and provide only new labels for these devices, select the Delete existing check box.

     If the Delete existing check box is cleared, the current list of labels will remain on each device. The new labels will be added to the lists of labels on all selected devices. In this case, the total number of labels for some of the selected devices may exceed the limit (up to 16 labels for each device). The application checks this limit before adding new labels.

  9. Click OK.

     The button is not available if the names of entered labels do not meet the requirements, or if the list of labels is empty while the Delete existing check box is cleared.

  To add labels for multiple devices when working with the maps:

     To select multiple nodes and/or groups, do one of the following:

     • Hold down the SHIFT key and use your mouse to select a rectangular area containing the relevant objects.
     • Hold down the CTRL key and use your mouse to select the relevant objects.
