When selecting mobs for a record, use the By Selected option to group by Management Tag.

You can use your Management Tags to filter and find mobs within your reports. Use the Filter All Columns field to search for your tag of choice or use the drop down Group By field to group by Management Tags. See our article on Reporting for further information of customising your reports.
