Assigning Location to devices within your organization.

Overview

Multiexcerpt
MultiExcerptNameLocation

Tachyon Explorer allows you to use Location when defining coverage for an instruction. For example, you can choose to target an instruction to be sent only to devices whose location has been set.

 Location is an attribute of a device that you can set define for its importance within your organization. You must agree the criteria for importance . You must agree a naming convention for locations within your organization, and ensure all Tachyon users have the same understanding of criticality location and how they are expected to use it.  For example, it may simply be a city or town name, a known abbreviation used within your organization, an address, building name, that might include floor or room name. In the case of a laptop, it might represent the office base of its owner instead of its physical location.

Location is currently displayed in the following pages in the Tachyon Portal:

Setting Location

Location is set using the instruction Set the location of my devices to <location> where <location>  is entered as free-form text up to 99 characters.

In Tachyon Explorer, type the instruction name, enter the desired location, select the coverage for the instruction, and then submit the instruction. After approval, devices which match the specified coverage value will have their location set to the specified value, and responses will report the old and new location.

Any devices that do not have their location set are reported as blank.

There is a corresponding instruction Get the location of my devices.
