Colored Label field in Company-maanged and Team-managed
If you are using a Service Management project, label fields are automatically added to your screens.
To use label fields in a Software project, you must manually add them to the appropriate screens.
To determine whether your project is Company-managed or Team-managed, check the bottom of your project’s left-hand sidebar:
If you see an icon or message stating “You’re in a team-managed project” along with a “Learn more” menu item, you are in a Team-managed project.
If you don’t see this, you are likely in a Company-managed project.
