Max...
Use the Tag(er) 'Luke'

2 steps will be needed:
A) to remove previous tags
B) add new tags

With the device connected (and the jobs at 0)
to add a tag (step B):
Search: ondevice:true
Ctrl-A (mark All)
Bulk metadata edit: Add Tag: <your name choice>
Apply



To remove tags (Step A)
Search: ondevice:false and tags:<tagname to remove>
Ctrl-A (mark All)
Bulk metadata edit: Remove Tags: <your removal name choice>
Apply


The tag name could be by device (if you manage more than 1).
The tag column could be the regular one or a custom one.
The skies the limit in flexibility of methods
