There are several attributes in CCI which the system uses to measure each application. There are a couple of scenarios to consider when creating and applying tags to applications.
-
Starting from policy creation, using CCL and app tags as enforcement criteria.
-
Starting from CCI, creating a unique combination of CCI attributes / criteria based app tag(s) to apply to new or existing policy as enforcement criteria. This option has the added benefit of automatically being applied to new apps added to the CCI database that meet the criteria.
Creating a New Tag
When creating custom tags for SaaS applications in Netskope CCI, there are a couple of guidelines which are enforced for new tags, existing tags can remain unchanged.
To ensure optimal performance and prevent potential issues when using APIs, custom tags applied to SaaS applications must adhere to the following restrictions:
- Maximum length: 75 characters
- Special characters are limited to brackets such as
[ ]and( ), underscore_, hyphen-, as well as spaces.
These length and character usage guidelines will not impact existing tags. However, any new tags must comply with these guidelines.
Navigate to CCI > Cloud Apps > Tags.
The Tag Manager window displays. You can filter / search for a specific tag and view details or perform the following actions:
-
view tag rules (Attribute, Condition, Value combination)
-

Editing a Tag

To select all apps shown on the page, click the Select All icon beside the Edit tags icon.
In the Edit Tags dialog box, there are two dropdown lists for tagging the chosen apps. The left dropdown list allows you to specify whether the app is sanctioned or unsanctioned. The right dropdown list allows you to specify whether the app is consumer, departmental, or enterprise level. To create a custom tag or to remove a tag, use the field below the dropdown lists.
