Manage labels

Create, rename, recolour, feature, and delete the labels in the Bonita Process Designer catalogue that organize diagrams across the application.

Labels categorize diagrams so users can group related processes and filter the home dashboard. Managing the label catalogue is an Admin-only task. Assigning labels to a diagram is a user task, covered in Organize diagrams with labels.

Only an Admin can create, rename, recolour, feature, or delete labels. See Roles and permissions.

Open the label catalogue

As an Admin, open the admin panel and go to the Labels section. The catalogue lists every label with its name and colour, and shows which label, if any, is currently featured.

The Labels section of the admin panel

Create a label

  1. In the Labels section, choose Create label.

  2. Enter a name. The name is required and must be unique across the catalogue.

  3. Optionally pick a colour. If you do not set one, the label uses the default colour #667eea.

  4. Confirm to add the label to the catalogue.

The new label immediately becomes available to every user when they tag diagrams or filter the dashboard.

Rename or recolour a label

Select a label in the list to edit it. You can change its name (still subject to the uniqueness rule) and its colour. Saving updates the label everywhere it appears — on diagram cards and in the label filter — without affecting which diagrams carry it.

Feature a label

One label can be marked as featured. Only a single label can be featured at any time: marking a label as featured automatically unsets the previously featured one.

The featured label is the default filter on the home dashboard, steering everyone toward the diagrams that matter most at a given moment. For how the featured label shapes the dashboard view, see Organize diagrams with labels.

Delete a label

Choose Delete on a label’s row.

  • If the label is not used by any diagram, it is removed immediately.

  • If the label is in use, deletion requires confirmation. Once confirmed, the label is removed from the catalogue and from every diagram that carries it. The diagrams themselves are not affected — they simply lose that tag.
