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 |

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
Deleting labels
To delete a label, go to products in the management environment, click on a product and then ‘select a label’. Now click on the pencil next to the label you want to delete and finally on the bin.
