Creating an issue label

Issue labels (labels) are used to add more context to item issues, similarly to tags (the difference being that other authenticated users can see issue labels). Issue labels can be created in the relevant Stewardship Organisation, or by an Administrator of the registry. They can be either Stewardship Organisation specific or, if created by a registry Administrator, registry-wide.

Note: The following procedure is for users planning to apply a label to a new issue. If you know you are not going to need a label, see Creating an issue for the issue creation procedure.

How to create an issue label

As a registry Administrator:

1. Select 'Administrator tools' from the dashboard side panel.

1. Select 'Manage Issue Labels'.

1. Select 'Add new label'.

1. Populate the 'Label' name' and 'Description' fields as desired, then select either the Stewardship Organization the label will be used by, or 'Registry-wide'. Registry-wide labels can be used on any item across the registry.
