## 4.2.1 Setting up labels

Labels are prepared by an administrator before the team uses them on the board.

### 4.2.1.1 The label list

Go to **Setup → Dropdowns** and choose **Kanban labels**, listed under the plugin's name. The list shows every label with its colour.

### 4.2.1.2 Create or edit a label

Click **Add**, or open a label, to set its **Name**, **Color**, **Entity** and **Child entities**. The fields are described in [4.1.2 Configuration](https://docs.tic.gal/books/agile-project-management/page/41-general-setup), under *Kanban labels*.
