FAQs

Q: When removing labels, does it just take the label off the issue/policy I have added it to or does it remove it from the list?

A: Only users with System Adiminstrator role can totally delete labels. If you are a user, you can only remove a label off the issue/policy you have added it to.

Q: I need to create/delete a label but unable to do so. Why is that so?

A: Your user role capability may have been restricted. Please reach out to your System Administrator to add/delete the label for your organization.
