What's New in 2025.3.1

Applying Asset Tags in Asset View

Easily categorize and organize devices with greater precision using the new Asset Tag capabilities in N-central. This enhancement brings more flexibility and control to how partners manage and track devices across distributed environments.

  • Apply custom tags to devices across all levels: Partner, SO, Customer, and Site.

  • Assign tags directly from the Asset View to enable consistent device labeling to support filtering, reporting, and workflow automation.

  • Manage Tags-Create, edit, and delete tags via the new Tag Management screen (admin-only access).

  • Tag visibility and usage are controlled through a combination of feature flags, user role permissions, and organizational hierarchy.

    • Scheduled Task Deleted

    • Scheduled Task Enabled
