Assign Labels

The Labels action is available for:

  • Multiple SIMs from the SIMs table

  • SIM on the SIM Info page:

    • Using the Action menu

SIM Labelling allows an operator to tag SIMs with labels for these purposes:

  • Grouping SIMs with common parameters

  • Filtering SIMs

  • Actions or bulk operations on SIMs with common label

Guidelines

Labels are assigned to SIMs in a single account. However, the label is not unique to that account and the same label can be applied to SIMs in a different account.

The SIM label is case-sensitive.

The SIM label structure is limited to:

  • A single word (no spaces allowed)

  • Alphanumeric characters only (a, b, c, 0, 1, 2, etc.)

  • Special characters are not allowed

  • Underlines between characters are not allowed

You can also create Labels using Settings > Labels. After you create them there, you must return to the SIMs module to assign them to SIMs.
