Labels let you tag tasks with categories that cut across your list and folder structure. Unlike status (which tracks workflow progress), labels describe what kind of work a task is or what it relates to, and you can filter views by them.
Create a label
Open Settings
Go to Settings > Labels.
Add a label
Click Add label.
Name it and pick a color
Choose a descriptive name and a color that makes it easy to spot in task lists.
Add labels to tasks
Open a task and use the Labels field in the right-hand sidebar to add one or more labels.
Filter views by label
In any view, use the filter menu to show only tasks with a specific label. This lets you see all related work across all lists at once, regardless of which folder or list each task lives in.
Label ideas that work well
- Type of work:
bug, feature, research, documentation, design
- Category or scope:
Q2, v1.0, customer-request, technical-debt
- Urgency or effort:
quick-win, stretch-goal, urgent
Keep your label set small and consistent. A handful of labels used regularly
is far more powerful than dozens that are applied inconsistently.
