Labels help you organize and follow your tasks. You can use them to show what stage the task is in (eg. NEW or INPROGRESS) and then filter your task lists.
Managing Labels
You can have as many labels as you like.
There are two types of labels:
- Global labels - Labels that are available across all projects and can be added to any task.
- Task labels - Labels that are created directly on the task and they can be added only on the tasks that are part of the same project.
To create a new global label:
- Open System Settings.
- Click on the Project section.
- Scroll to the bottom of the page and choose the Global task labels.
- To add a label, click Add Task Label.
- To edit an existing label, click on the three dots and choose the Edit option. Enter a new name or select a color.
- To remove a label, click on the three dots and choose the Delete option.
To create a new task label:
- Open a task.
- Click on "Add" in the task label window.
- Enter the name of the new label.
You can also remove all the labels from the task by simply clicking on the X icon.
Selecting labels
Labels are sorted alphabetically. When a task has one or two labels assigned, you can see their full name, but if it has three or more they're shown as circles over which you can hover the mouse and see the names of the labels assigned.
Filtering Tasks
After you’ve applied a couple of labels to your tasks, you’ll be able to filter them on your project task lists. Simply select the task labels that you would like to show. This is helpful when you have a lot of tasks on your project and you wish to narrow down your selection.
Labels also help you categorize your tasks and then get the information you need. For example, you’re interested in which of your tasks are currently INPROGRESS: simply run a task report to get a list of all the tasks matching that label across all your projects.
Global labels are available across all projects and can be added to tasks.
Changing a Task label to a Global label
To change the task label to a global label, you must create the same task label with the same color in another project
Project labels
Project labels are used for projects and can be edited in the System settings. Please note that you can select only one project label per project.
