They can have different colors, a description, and are visible throughout -the issue tracker or inside each issue individually. - -With labels, you can navigate the issue tracker and filter any bloated -information to visualize only the issues you are interested in. Let's see how -that works. - -## Create new labels - ->**Note:** -A permission level of `Developer` or higher is required in order to manage -labels. - -Head over a single project and navigate to the label page by clicking on -**Labels** in the left sidebar. - -The first time you visit the **Labels** page you'll notice that there are no -labels created yet. - - - ---- - -You can skip that and create a new label or click that link and GitLab will -generate a set of predefined labels for you. There 8 default generated labels -in total and you can see them in the screenshot below. - - - ---- - -You can see that from the labels page you can have an overview of the number of -issues and merge requests assigned to each label. - -Creating a new label from scratch is as easy as pressing the **New label** -button. From there on you can choose the name, give it an optional description, -a color and you are set. - -When you are ready press the **Create label** button to create the new label. - - - -## Create a new label right from the issue tracker - ->**Note:** -This feature was introduced in GitLab 8.6. - -There are times when you are already in the issue tracker searching for a -label, only to realize it doesn't exist. Instead of going to the **Labels** -page and being distracted from your original purpose, you can create new -labels on the fly. - -Just hit **New Label** from the dropdown list, provide a name, pick a color -and hit **Create**. - - - - -## Assigning labels to issues and merge requests - -There are generally two ways to assign a label to an issue or merge request. - ---- - -You can assign a label when you first create or edit an issue or merge request. - - - ---- - -The second way is by using the right sidebar. Expand it and hit **Edit**. Start -typing the name of the label you are looking for to narrow down the list and -select it. Once done, click outside the sidebar area for the changes to take -effect. - - - - ---- - -To remove labels, follow the same procedure like when adding them and hit the -little **x** mark next to each one. - -## Use labels to filter issues - -Once you start adding labels to your issues, you'll see the benefit of it. -Labels can have several uses, one of them being the quick filtering of issues -or merge requests. - -Pick an existing label from the dropdown _Label_ menu or click on an existing -label from the issue tracker. In the latter case, you also get to see the -label description like shown below. - - - ---- - -And if you added a description to your label, you can see it by hovering your -mouse over the label in the issue tracker. - - - -## Subscribe to labels - -If you don’t want to miss issues or merge requests that are important to you, -simply subscribe to a label. You’ll get notified whenever the label gets added -to an issue or merge request, making sure you don’t miss a thing. - - - -If you work on a large or popular project, try subscribing only to the labels -that are relevant to you. You’ll notice it’ll be much easier to focus on what’s -important. +This document was moved to [user/project/labels.md](../user/project/labels.md). |
