Label Details

2 min read

Opening a label shows its detail view. This is where you review a label’s name and color, edit it, and see every place the label is used before you change or delete it.

The detail view has two panels: the label’s details on the left and its usages on the right.

Opening a Label

Section titled “Opening a Label”

To open a label’s details:

  1. Open a project.

  2. Go to Labels.

  3. Select a label to open its detail view.

Depending on your project access, you can review the label or switch into editing to update it.

Label Details Panel

Section titled “Label Details Panel”

The left panel shows the label’s core information:

  • Name — the label’s text.
  • Color — the label’s color, or Transparent for a neutral style.
  • Preview — a live preview of how the label appears in lists and pickers.

The panel header reads View Label while reviewing and Edit Label while editing.

Editing a Label

Section titled “Editing a Label”

Only a label’s name and color can be edited — usage relationships are managed on the individual work items.

  1. Open the label.

  2. Click Edit Label.

  3. Update the Name, choose a Color (or Transparent), and check the Preview.

  4. Click Save Changes.

Save Changes becomes available only when you have actually changed the name or color. Use Cancel to discard your changes and return to the read-only view.

Renaming or recoloring a label updates how it appears everywhere it is used. The linked work items stay linked to the same label.

Usages Panel

Section titled “Usages Panel”

The right panel groups everywhere the label is used into tabs, each shown as an icon with a tooltip that includes its count. The tabs are:

  • Testcases
  • Requirements
  • Releases
  • Tasks
  • Executions
  • Testruns
  • Defects
  • Testsuites

Select a tab to see the list of items that use the label. Each item is a link that opens in a new tab, so you can jump straight to the test case, requirement, release, task, execution, testrun, defect, or testsuite. If a category has no items, the tab shows a message such as No testcases use this label.

Use this panel to understand a label’s reach before renaming, recoloring, or deleting it.

Deleting a Label

Section titled “Deleting a Label”

The Delete button sits at the bottom of the details panel. When you delete a label, Hawzu first checks how many items use it across all usage categories:

  • If the label is not used anywhere, you are told it is safe to remove.
  • If the label is used, you are told how many places use it, and that deleting it will remove the label from all of those usages. This cannot be undone.

Deleting a label never deletes the work items it was applied to — it only removes the label itself and its links. See Deleting Labels for full details.

Permissions

Section titled “Permissions”

Available actions in the detail view depend on your project permissions. Editing requires label edit permission, and deleting requires label delete permission. If a button is disabled, your project role may not include that permission.
