Best Practices

Here are the recommended steps for teams thinking about how to use labels strategically:

  1. Create standards for when it makes sense to add a label
  2. Agree on naming conventions
  3. Plan ahead, brainstorm, and map out the labels you want to use
  4. Ensure stakeholders and cross-functional partners are aligned
  5. Apply the labels in your OneSignal dashboard. Iterate and adjust as needed

FAQ

If I have the same label on different indices, would that group items from multiple lists together?

Yes, labels are not page-specific. For example, the label "Superbowl 2023" on the Push Notifications index can be used on another index as well.
