The label catalogue is the list of all labels on your Jira site. Keep it tidy: rename labels, change their colour, merge duplicates and delete the ones nobody needs.
Only Jira administrators can manage the label catalogue. Everyone else can still create and apply labels.
Find and create labels
-
Open Apps → Attachment Manager and select Manage labels at the top right.
-
Use Search labels to find a label. The filter next to it shows Unused labels, or labels marked Needs review.
-
Select Create label to add a new one.
Needs review marks a label that lost its name during an upgrade from an older version. It shows a warning icon. Give it a proper name with Edit.
Edit or delete a label
Use the icons at the end of a label's row. Edit changes the name or colour, and every file with the label shows the change. Delete removes the label from every file.
Merge two labels
Merge when two labels mean the same thing, such as “Contract” and “Contracts”.
-
On the row of the label you want to get rid of, select the merge icon.
-
Under Merge into, choose the label you want to keep.
-
Read the summary, then select Merge.
All files move to the label you keep, and the other label is deleted.
Merging and deleting cannot be undone. The row shows Merging… or Deleting… until the work is finished; wait for that before changing the same label again.
About the numbers
Files and Storage are updated every night. The line under the table shows when they were last worked out.
