Assign Tag to Another Tag

Components allows one or more existing tags (called Components) to be assigned to another existing tag (called Parent).  This allows all of the tags to move throughout the district, as a group, by only moving the parent tag.  Examples: laptops in a laptop cart, a mobile workstation with various technology items.

Assign a Tag to Another Tag

Only tags in the status of Available are eligible to be assigned to a parent.  When a component is assigned to a parent, it automatically moves to the parent's current location.  This action is recorded in the tag's Status History.

NOTE:  A tag can only be assigned one Asset Type at a time.  Therefore, a component cannot also be a parent.

1. Click within the Tag Search field, located in the top navigation bar.
   
2. Enter the tag number of the intended Parent tag (it can be made up of alpha and/or numeric characters).
3. Click on Search or hit the Enter key on your keyboard.  The Tag Information window appears and displays the details of the tag.
4. Click on the Components tab.
5. Enter the intended Component tag into the Component Tag field. (If a scanner is not being utilized, click on .)  The tag is displayed in the Components grid.
   

NOTE:

Components acquire the assigned parent's status and location.  This includes:

1. • Components reflect the current tag status of their parent.  
   • As a parent is moved throughout the district, the components move with the parent.
   • • Room to Room Transfers
     • Issuing to Staff
     • Issuing to Students
     • Site to Site Transfers

For each of the actions listed above, a warning screen displays the parent's respective components.  This allows the removal of one or more components from the assigned parent.
