# Creating & Managing Labels

In Assette, **Labels** act like folders and sub-folders, helping you categorize and organize content across the platform, including Smart Docs, Smart Pages, Smart Shells, and more. This structure enhances content discovery and consistency across the system.

All Label management takes place in the **Classification Master**, found by navigating to the **Admin Center** and selecting **Classification Master** from the left-hand panel. Once Labels are applied to content layers, they rarely need to be changed.

Labels are top-level categories, while **Sub-Labels** let you define more granular subcategories within that main group. For instance, if your organization produces content around investment performance, you could create a Label Value named **“Performance”**, and define Sub-Label Values for different views or types of performance data.

**Example Structure:**

- **Label Value**: Performance
  - **Sub-Label Value 1**: Performance Summary
  - **Sub-Label **Value**2**: Performance Attribution
  - **Sub-Label **Value**3**: Risk & Return

This structure helps you group and identify related content more efficiently. Sub-Labels are optional, some content layers, such as Shells or Data Objects, may not need further categorization beyond the Label.

### Creating a New Label

To add a new Label in Assette:

1. Go to the **Classification Master**>Labels.
2. Click **Create New** in the upper-right corner.
3. You’ll be taken to the **Create New Label** screen, where you’ll define the Label and its Label Values.

You can leave any field blank if no Label is needed. Click **Apply** to save your changes.

Once the Label is assigned, you can navigate to the content layer, such as a Smart Doc, and you will see the assigned Label available for selection.
