What are labels and what can you do with them throughout the system?

Fast identification of documents with labels.

Labels are predefined indications within RentMagic that can be used on various tables. Labels are informative and can be used to indicate certain records with one or more labels. Labels can be used as identifier or to indicate information for example on a frontend. Labels can be selected on a record in a selection box, where one or more values can be selected.

You can also give labels a colour.

Open overview labels

To open the overview of all labels within RentMagic:

  • In the main menu, navigate to Settings > Rental > Labels.

The label overview will now open.

  • Use the filter to search for a specific label using a keyword.

New label

To create a new label:

The details form for creating a new label is displayed.

  • Please fill in all fields as completely as possible. See Field information for more information about the fields.

The label can be used immediately.

Changing a label

If the label that will be modified has been used before, the existing labels selected on records will also change names throughout the system. This means that you cannot just change a label; you must first consider whether the change will affect the existing information.

  • Double-click the respective label in the overview.

The details form is displayed.

  • Adjust the fields you want to change and check the other information.

Removing a label

To remove a label:

  • Select the label in the overview.
  • Click Delete in the action bar.
  • Confirm the notification.

The label will be removed from the system immediately.
