A host tag is a unique identifier that you can use to categorize hosts and to create work queues for team members. If you assign a host tag to a group of hosts, you can easily search for those hosts based on the host tag.
For example, you can use host tags if you want to divide the hosts within a project into two separate groups and assign each group to a different team member. If the team members are John and Jennifer, you can create a host tag for each of them based on their name and apply the host tag to the hosts that you want to assign to them. When Jennifer searches for
#jennifer, she sees a list of hosts that she has been tasked to test. When John searches for his host tag, he finds his list of hosts.
