Labeling people to manage them around community
You can name and color code groups of people to make them easier to find when you browse or communicate with people as a group.
You can create labels to group your friends or connections, the people you follow. You might use this to group people from a certain location together. For example, if you have a New York office in your company, you can create a New York label. This helps you find people fast when you have a lot of connections. When you apply a label to multiple friends or connections, the label becomes a way to show only those with certain labels. Additionally, you can type the label name in when you're creating a direct message or adding collaborators on a document to automatically include all the people with that label.
To create a label:
-
Browse your friends or connections by clicking People and selecting Following on the left.
Note: You can only group and label people you're following.
-
Click Create Label in the left pane.
-
Select a color, type the name for the label.
-
Click Save.
-
Add someone to that new label group by clicking the gear icon on their profile card, and then clicking Label People.
-
Select the label that you want to apply to the person.
You can remove the label by clicking it again to deselect it.
-
If you want to delete a label group later, click Browse > Following, and then click the Delete label icon that shows up when you hover the mouse over the label.
