Create a Label

Labels are created using a key value pair. For example, department:devops or priority:critical. You can create labels using any key value pair you would like, making them useful for customizing Kion to your unique environment.

An object can only have a single label using each key applied to it. A project could be labeled as department:engineering and environment:staging, but not department:engineering and department:marketing.
