Overview

Label is a type of custom field that can describe your card. Use them like tags to organize your work. They inform about the category of the card, which can be based on priority, department, or any other criteria that makes sense for your workflow.

You can add many labels to one card. Set different colors of each other for quick recognition.

Example: The remote and indoor labels on the card front.

You can add multiple labels to one card.

Labels can be visible in three places:

You can see all assigned custom fields in the card details section inside the card.
