Single Connect imports Azure instances based on their tags. If an Azure instance is to be imported to Single Connect, that instance must have all the tags specified in at least one device group. To create a group with Azure tags:

1. Navigate to** Device Management** > **Device Groups**.
2. Create a new Device Group, or use an existing Device Group.
3. Right-click a **Device Group**, and select **Show Properties**.
4. Set the Azure tag property that matches the devices to be imported. The tag property keys are automatically created in Single Connect once the **Azure Device Import **job runs.

- Tag values can be written in regex format.

  When importing devices from cloud platforms, the Management IP is set according to the values of the **tag.DiscoverInterfaceType** property defined on the device group. The property can be set as **public** or **private**. The default value is **private**.
