Create a label — LinkedLeads Help Centre

Labels are your own tags. Create one anywhere labels appear — the inbox, a member's chat, a pipeline — and it works the same way in all three.

Creating one

Click Manage labels to open the label panel.
Click + Create a label.
Give it a name and a colour.

The inbox sidebar with the labels section listing existing labels, each with a coloured dot. — Labels live in the sidebar, and the panel is reached from the same place.

A conversation's right-hand panel with a labels section showing Growth Hacker and Top Candidate applied to this lead. — The same labels shown where they are used — on a lead, in the chat panel.

A pipeline board header with a Select labels control beside the search field. — And on a board, where the label filter narrows the cards on show.

Click Create.

The label panel open in the left sidebar, listing existing labels such as Account Manager, Follow and Hot Lead. — The label panel, reached from Manage labels. The highlight marks the button that opens it.

The new-label dialog with a title field and a grid of colour swatches. — Name the label and pick a colour. The highlights mark the title field and the swatch grid.

The label list with a newly created label named Warm lead at the bottom. — The finished label, highlighted where it now appears in the list.

It is immediately available everywhere in LinkedLeads that labels can be applied.

Choosing labels worth having

A label is only useful if it changes what you do next. Hot lead does; Maybe interesting does not.

Two that tend to earn their place:

A stage you cannot express as a pipeline column — Asked to be contacted in Q3
A source — From the conference, when you want to be able to reconstruct a list later

Colour carries meaning at a glance in a busy list, so use it deliberately: one colour for temperature, another for source, rather than picking whatever comes next.
