Organize your rules with labels

Labels are key words or tags that you can add to rules to categorize, identify, and bookmark your automation rules. For example, you could assign the label notifications to all notification-based rules. You can then view all rules with that label, or search based on the label.

You can use the same label across both global and project/space rules.

Label a rule

Any user with permission to edit an automation rule can add labels to it.

To add a new label:

  1. On the Automation page, click Add label.

  2. Enter a name for your label, and choose a color.

Once a label has been added, drag and drop a rule on the label to apply it.

Remove labels

When viewing rule labels, an x appears alongside each label. Click the x to remove the label.
