***Metadata**: Assign labels with optional values for categorization, such as `#year=1999`, `#genre="sci-fi"`, or `#author="Neal Stephenson"`.
***Configuration**: Labels can configure advanced features or settings (see reference below).
***Scripts and Plugins**: Used to tag notes with special metadata, such as the "weight" attribute in the<a class="reference-link" href="../Advanced%20Showcases/Weight%20Tracker.md">Weight Tracker</a>.
1. Go to the _Owned Attributes_ section in the<a class="reference-link" href="../../Basic%20Concepts%20and%20Features/UI%20Elements/Ribbon.md">Ribbon</a>.
2. Press the + button (_Add new attribute_) to the right.
> If you prefer keyboard shortcuts, press <kbd>Alt</kbd>+<kbd>L</kbd> while focused on a note or in the _Owned Attributes_ section to display the visual editor.
While in the visual editor:
* Set the desired name
* Optionally, set the value of the label. Labels can exist without a value.
* Check _Inheritable_ if the label should be inherited by the child notes as well. See<a class="reference-link" href="Attribute%20Inheritance.md">Attribute Inheritance</a>for more information.
In the _Owned Attributes_ section in the<a class="reference-link" href="../../Basic%20Concepts%20and%20Features/UI%20Elements/Ribbon.md">Ribbon</a>:
* To create a label called `myLabel` with no value, simply type `#myLabel`.
* To create a label called `myLabel` with a value `value`, simply type `#myLabel=value`.
* If the value contains spaces, then the text must be quoted: `#myLabel="Hello world"`.
* If the string contains quotes (regardless of whether it has spaces), then the text must be quoted with apostrophes instead: `#myLabel='Hello "world"'`.
* To create an inheritable label called `myLabel`, simply write `#myLabel(inheritable)` for no value or `#myLabel(inheritable)=value` if there is a value.
## Predefined labels
This is a list of labels that Trilium natively supports.
> Some labels presented here end with a `*`. That means that there are multiple labels with the same prefix, consult the specific page linked in the description of that label for more information.
