Labels

Labels are colour-coded tags which can be added to files on a matter, providing similar functionality to folders.

By making use of the label filter, you can then easily find any correspondence saved to a matter!

Note

Users require permission to create, edit, merge or delete labels.

Creating labels

1. Navigate to Settings > Labels
2. Select + Create
3. Provide a Name for the label
4. Select a C olour
5. Save

Merging labels

Merging allows you to combine two or more labels into a single group.

Tip

Existing labels saved to a matter will be retained. Existing labels assigned to templates will be updated to the newly merged label.

Note

If a label is renamed or deleted, existing labels on a matter will be retained but the colour of the label will change to grey.

1. Tick the checkboxes next to the labels you’d like to merge
2. Select Merge
3. Provide a Name for the new label that will be created
4. Select a Colour
5. Save
