# Manual Assignment

## Overview

For smaller configurations or where you don't want to use USB readers/writers, it's also possible to manually change a Tag Codes Assignment Status. 

This can be either done on an individual Tag Code basis via the Console or in bulk via [Associate Data](https://docs.ixkio.com/features/associate-data).

## Manual Console Assignment

Select your Tag Assignment Status from the dropdown and click on Update.&#x20;

Tags that have been previously Assigned can be set back to Unassigned and then re-Assigned using the Standard (USB Device) Assignment process. &#x20;
