Improved customization: Filter tag values when creating new tagsCreating Tags in vScope

Create tags with values from other tags and use custom filters to fetch the exact values you are looking for. This is especially useful if you want to count or sum specific values from either another tag, or from a related asset. In the image above, we create a tag with all the Chrome applications that are installed on the machine – by filtering the Installed Applications tag matchin *Chrome*.
