(12.04.120) Using Structure Tags with IGEL OS 11 Devices

Problem

When rolling out devices automatically it can be difficult to assign each to the desired folder in the Universal Management Suite (UMS).

Goal

Newly registered devices will automatically have the information where they are to be placed in the structure tree of the UMS.
