Removing a label from a record

- In the Labels section of the right-hand sidebar, click the x on the label chip you want to remove.
How to filter by label
Labels can be used as a filter on most global and company-level record tables, including passwords, assets, networks, racks, websites, and KB articles.
Filtering on global tables
- Open any supported global table (e.g.,
Passwords,Assets,Networks). - Open the filter panel on the right side.
- Select one or more values under the
Labelfilter. The table will update to show only matching records.
Filtering on company tables
- Navigate to a company and open a supported table (e.g., passwords, assets, KB articles).
- Use the
Labelquick filter above the table to select one or more labels. - If you are inside a folder, the filter applies to records in that folder only. At the base level, it applies across all folders you have access to.
When a label filter is active, folders are hidden from view. Remove the filter to browse by folder again.
Tools
If your Hudu instance previously used password tags, those tags have been automatically migrated to labels. Each tag becomes a label scoped to Passwords and All companies with a default black color dot. You can review and update these under Admin > Labels.
Labels and label types are available via the Hudu API (v1). You can create, read, update, and delete labels and label types programmatically, and assign labels to records. Refer to your API documentation for endpoint details.
