# Weighted labels

In OpenText Core Data Discovery & Risk Insights, weighted labels are used to represent the presence of sensitive data within the context of data under management. When you create a weighted label, you assign a weight to the label. The weight represents how important that label is as it relates to risk; the greater the weight, the higher the importance.

The Sensitive Data dashboard includes a view of your sensitive data based on the use of weighted labels. You can quickly visualize the amount of sensitive data you have based on the colors you assigned to the labels.

For example, your company is about to apply for a patent. This information is highly sensitive and therefore would represent a high risk. You create a weighted label and assign the highest possible value. You then create a dynamic tag to be automatically applied to items that include keywords related to this patent and include this new label.

To create a weighted label

1. From the primary navigation pane, click Tags > Weighted Labels.

   The Weighted Labels page opens.

2. Click NEW LABEL.

   The New Label dialog opens.

3. Complete the following options for the new weighted label.

   Option | Description
   --- | ---
   Color | Select the desired color for the label. By assigning different colors to different labels within the reporting group, you can quickly discern the various labels when presented graphically.
   Name | Enter a unique meaningful name for the label. Limits: Maximum 50 characters.
   Weight | Define the weight, or importance, of the label. Type the desired number or use the up and down arrows to define the number. On a scale of 0-10,000, the weight indicates how important this label is relative to the reporting group, with 10,000 being the most important.

4. Click CREATE.

   The label is created.
