In the Rackspace section click on the Row that you want to add racks too, click the add new rack tab and the “rack” will appear. From the drop down select the appropriate tag, answer the control question and click Go! This tag will now apply to all Racks that are added to this Row. Select Rackspace and then click on the required Row, click the Tag Roller tab and click the file symbol next to tags. The best way to do this is to add them to the Row, as if you place a tag for the Location then it will apply to all rows under that location. If you have already set up your location tags, you can now add them to the required locations. Tags applied at this level will apply to locations of the same name. Click the hard disk button to save you entry. Click on the Location Name that you entered, here you are able to add a contact person for the location and also any releveant tags i.e. Select Rackspace and the browse tab, on here you will be able to see the locations that you have added. Repeat the above until you have the correct number of rows that are required. This will now appear in the Rackspace main page. Select Manage rows, from the drop down box select the location, then enter the name or number for the row and then click the grey box to save the row. The location will not appear on the Rackspace page until a Row is added to it. Repeat this as needed to add all the locations. Select Manage locations, type the name of the location you wish to add and then click the grey box to save this location.
