Overview

There are two types of asset labels:

  • Custom
    These labels can be created by users when managing labels for assets. They are marked with blue color.
  • Preset
    These labels are managed by an administrator. They are used to ensure consistent labeling/categorization and are marked with red color.

Go to Settings | Asset labels to get an overview of existing labels:

Asset-Labels_Types-of-Asset-Labels - V2
