Labeling an Issue
Labeling allows you to categorize an issue(s) in a more informal way than assigning it to a version or component. You can then search for issues that have been given a particular label.
When viewing an issue, the issue's labels appear in the 'Details' section:
Screenshot: the 'Details' section within an issue
You can click a label (e.g. 'doc' in the above screenshot) to jump to the Issue Navigator and see a list of all issues that have this label. You can also:
- search for issues that have been given a particular label (use the 'Labels' field in a Simple Search or an Advanced Search), and create saved filters.
- add the Labels Gadget to your dashboard, and/or use the 'Labels' field with any field-focused gadget (e.g. Heat Map, Issue Statistics, Filter Results, 2D Filter Statistics).
If your JIRA administrator has added any custom fields of type 'Label', they will be shown below the 'Labels' field.Adding and removing labels for an issue
- View the issue you wish to label.
- Select More > Labels. The Labels dialog will appear.
Keyboard shortcut: l
- Add or remove the desired label(s) and click Update.
Note: You can add multiple labels by typing them separated by spaces.
