# System-Wide Labels


System-Wide Labels
=================================

Labels are colored tags that can be added to artifacts and are only visible in the Container Registry GUI. They help you to find artifacts quickly since they can be used in [some filters](/docs/user-manual/images/_index.md#filter-artifacts-by-label) and since they are more eye-catchy than tags. They can be added on the project level by project administrators as explained [here](/docs/user-manual/projects/configuration/_index.md#labels-tabs), but system administrators can also create system-wide labels that can be used for all projects.
## Add a New System-Wide Label
* In the navigation, go to **Administration**;
* Select **Labels**;
* Click **+ New Label**;
* Give it a name;
* Assign it some color;
* Optionally, add a description.

## Edit or Delete a System-Wide Label
To edit or delete an existing system-wide label:
* Go to the **Labels** tab in the **Administration**;
* Check a tick box next to a label;
* Press either **Edit** or **Delete**.

It is possible to delete labels in bulks, but editing only works for one label at a time.
