To easily search and order products or to filter information, you can add categories or labels to a product (and package or location).
Unlike product categories, it is not necessary to use labels in MICE, but they add much value in the system.
You can filter labels just like categories at:
The product catalogue
Product Setup
Cost overview in quotes and documents
Script in quotes and documents
The differences between categories and labels:
| Categories | Labels |
Filter in script templates | ✅ | ✅ |
Filter in cost overview in templates | ✅ | ✅ |
Filter in custom planning views | ✅ | ✅ |
Filter in product catalogue | ✅ | ✅ |
Apply on location products | ✅ | ✅ |

Examples of product labels:
Label 'Drinks' among which belong bar products like food and beverage items
Label 'Meetings' among which belong all products sold for meetings
Label 'Supplier' to create and send out a list of products
Managing labels
To manage labels, go to Products in the management environment, select a product, and then click the + Label button. In this screen you can:
Search for labels
Create new labels
Manage existing labels (edit or remove)
Labels for packages and spaces
It is also possible to assign labels to packages and spaces. This provides additional options when filtering and allows you to categorise these items even more precisely.
