Use labels to categorize spaces

If you've got lots of related spaces, you can use labels to group them together into categories in the Space Directory.

For example, if you're in an IT team who work on a number of projects, each in a different space, you could label each space 'IT-projects-open'. Then in the Space Directory you could select IT-projects-open to see all your current IT project spaces. 

You can add as many space categories to a space as you need, so that if, for example, two different teams are working on a project together, you can add labels for both teams and space will appear under both categories.

You can add or remove labels as your needs change.
