Labels

Quick overview

• Labels define content types (e.g., "Project," "Task," "Client").
• They help categorize and structure entries.
• Labels replace the need for rigid table schemas.

What are labels?

Labels classify and categorize entries, enabling structured organization. Unlike tags, which describe characteristics, labels define the type of content an entry represents.

Guidelines for Label Names

• Labels should be singular and descriptive, representing an entity type rather than a vague category.
• Avoid using labels as general-purpose tags.

✅ Good examples: "City," "Person," "Idea," "Song," "Artist"
❌ Bad examples: "Vacations," "Remind Me," "Favorites"

Field Associations with Labels

Labels ensure consistency across similar types of entries by automatically adding associated fields when applied to an entry.

Example:
A Project label might include:

• Client → Relation to another entry
• Lead → Assigned user
• Due Date → Date field
• Status → Dropdown with predefined options

However, an entry can also have custom fields that aren’t part of the label, such as "Client's Favorite Color" (text field).

Adding Labels to Your Space

Labels can be added to your space in two ways: directly within an entry, through your space options
