Job Labels

Overview

Labels in Pathwave provide an additional layer of organization and filtering across both the Jobs Planning Board and the Job Board. Partners frequently use labels to categorize jobs based on internal workflows, special requirements, job types, priorities, market segments, or any other custom grouping. Once a label is applied to a job, it becomes available as a filter—allowing teams to sort, group, and streamline their planning and execution processes.

This article explains how to create labels, apply them to jobs, and use label-based filters to build and save custom views.
