Use labels with forms

Use labels to keep your forms organized. You can use labels to group forms (and other assets) together by keyword, topic, audience, purpose, and more. Once you add a label to a form, you can filter the Forms overview page by that label to quickly find what you need.

While similar to folders, labels offer more flexibility as you can assign more than one label to a form.

In this article, you’ll learn how to create, apply, edit, remove, and delete labels from the Forms overview page.

Take note

• Forms, automations, and campaigns share the same labels. Any labels created on the Forms page will appear in the Label
  Manager and can be used with automations and campaigns
• Edits made to labels on the Forms page are applied globally to your account
• Labels deleted from the Forms page are permanently deleted from your account and will be removed from all assets (campaigns, automations, and forms)

You can create a new label for one or multiple forms simultaneously.

4. A modal window will appear where you can create a new label:
