Content Manager 25.1 Content Manager

# Creating, modifying, deleting user labels

NOTE: When a user without the Can Manage User Labels permission creates a label, it can only be seen by that user for private use.

To create a label to be used by more than one user, select a location that has members, right-click on the location and select Maintain User Labels; right-click and point to New and then click New Top Level Item. See Creating a user label for details. The label is now shareable with other members of the selected location. You can also create a User Label that can be shared with a defined Content Manager Location Group/Organisation by setting the Location as the Owner of the User Label.

Creating a user label

1. On the Manage ribbon, click User Labels.

   The User Labels screen appears.

2. To create a new highest level label, right-click in the screen area and from the New menu, choose New Top Level Item.
