Labels allow your service advisors to understand their assigned conversations at just a glance. Instead of simply assigning out conversations, you can easily Label them so that service advisors or managers will see the associated Label and be able to quickly take action on them. This provides them with more information without you needing to type up a note.

How to create a new Label
You only need to create a new label one time. Every time thereafter, you'll be able to choose the already created label. Creating a label for the first time is simple:

In the open text box, type in the new label you'd like to create, and press Create new label.
Fill in what color and icon you'd like to use, and the expiration date of the label - or how long you'd like to have the label associated with the conversation. Most labels will want to expire within a week.
Press Create. It's that simple! Now, you can use your created label whenever you'd like.
