Using Labels & Tags
Labels turn a wall of cards into a scannable, color-coded picture of work. Use them for priority, type, owner, or anything else worth a color.
Overview
Each board supports up to 30 labels with custom names and colors. Labels appear as colored pills on cards, can be filtered with one click, and power automations (e.g. "when label Bug is added, assign to QA").
Color palette & meaning
Eight base colors per label. Pick a system that makes sense to your team and stick with it:
Working with labels
Create on-the-fly
Add a new label from any card. Pick a color, type a name, and it's instantly available board-wide.
Apply multiple
A card can carry many labels — "Bug + High Priority + Mobile" all at once.
One-click filter
Click any label on the board to instantly hide every card that doesn't share it.
Rename & recolor
Update any label's name or color and every existing card on the board reflects the change immediately.
Best practices
One axis per color
Use color for one dimension (say, priority). Use names alone for everything else.
Workspace-wide standard
Agree on Bug = red, Feature = blue across every board. Predictability beats creativity here.
Stay under 8 per board
Too many labels = noise. If you need more, split into two boards instead.
Try color-blind safe mode
Enable patterns-on-labels in Settings → Accessibility. Each color gets a unique pattern so red/green and blue/purple stay distinguishable.
