# Name and organize displays

Give each display a name you recognize, group displays with tags, and check where each one sits on the map. Everything happens on the display's **Settings** tab.

> **Type:** guide
> **For:** anyone who looks after more than a handful of displays and wants to find them quickly
> **Prerequisite:** the Owner or Manager role. Managing tags is a separate permission.
> **Where in the portal:** **Displays** › display › **Settings**

## Steps

### Name and describe the display

1. Open the display and switch to the **Settings** tab.
2. In **Master data**, enter a **Name**, such as "Window right". It appears in the list of displays and in every log entry.
3. Under **Description**, note what someone on site needs to find the display, such as "under the awning".
4. Under **Location**, choose the place where the display hangs, or leave **Without location**. You create places under **Settings › Organization › Locations**, see [Create locations and assign displays to them](/displays/create-locations).
5. Click **Save**.

In the list of displays, **Rename …** in a display's menu is a faster way to change only the name.

### Create and assign tags

Tags are colored labels that group displays across locations, such as "Shop window" or "Waiting room".

1. On the **Settings** tab, go to **Tags**.
2. Under **New tag**, enter a name, choose a **Tag color**, and click **Create**. The tag is then available for all displays.
3. Click a tag to assign it to this display. Click it again to remove it.

To tag several displays at once, select them in the list of displays and choose **Assign tag …**. **Rename** and **Delete** change a tag for all displays.

### Check the map position

The device determines its position from the surrounding radio networks, and the map view uses it. The **Device position** card shows it, for information only. You no longer enter coordinates at the display. The address and position of a place belong to its location.

1. Go to the **Device position** card. It names the address, the time, and the accuracy.
2. If the display hangs at a location with a position, the card compares the two. If they differ widely, it warns: **The device reports from about … km away from the location.**
3. If the display has moved, choose its new place under **Location** in **Master data**. Otherwise it keeps showing the opening hours and weather of the old place.

An older correction by hand stays visible as **Set by hand on …**. **Determine automatically again** hands the position back to the device.

The map position is not the same as the place you choose in **Master data**. The device measures the position, while a place is something you create and can assign to several displays.

## Check the result

The list of displays shows the new name, the **Tag** filter offers your new tag, and under **View** › **Map**, the display sits at its position.

## If something goes wrong

| Symptom | Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| **The display was changed in the meantime — please reload.** | Someone else just edited the same display. | Reload the page and enter your change again. |
| A deleted tag is gone everywhere | **Delete** removes the tag from all displays. | Create the tag again and assign it again. |
| The map shows no displays | No device in the selection knows its position yet. | Wait until the device has determined it. |
| The buttons are grayed out | Your role doesn't allow editing displays or managing tags. | Ask someone with the Owner role for the permission. |
