Display labels on project board?
Asked by Klaus Nymand:

I'm trying to figure out if it's possible to show the label of the issue on the board overview page here:

![00000490](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/71499i23C770391E90E2D1/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "00000490")

I'm currently on the free plan and just created an account today.

I tried searching and it looks like it's possible but can't figure it out.

You can configure cards on a board to display up to three additional fields. The fields can be different for the Backlog and Active sprints, if you are using a Scrum board.

**To add fields to cards:**

* Click the Jira icon (, , , or ) \> Projects \> then select the relevant project.
* Go to your Scrum backlog, Active sprints, Kanban backlog (if enabled), or Kanban board.
* Go to ??? \> Board settings and click Card layout.
* Add or delete fields as desired
* .Enable the Days in column toggle to display how many days an issue has been in the board columns.

author: Ollie Guan
body: The board setting is in the upper right corner of the page. It seems that you do not have the administrator rights for this setting.

Sorry, I noticed that you are using the jira-core business project.

The functions I mentioned only included in software project types in Jira-software.

body: Hi, this may explain my problem as well. I am working in a team managed project and want to add labels to my card. I don't see "Card layout" as on option. Can anyone assist me on how to do this? ![2022_09_16_11_16_13_Window.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/216357i52000D914D13783A/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "2022_09_16_11_16_13_Window.png")

Is this still valid?

I can't find any of the settings you mentioned.

I want to show labels on the cards.

Thanks.

body: However, the above method is not applicable to next-generation projects.


author: Eli Szus
body: Thanks. Perhaps that should be noted somehow in the documentation about it. I didn't see anywhere that it mentions which version it applies to.


author: Tade?? Valenta
body: And is there any option in the next generation projects to show labels on the board if I can't see the Card layout option in the settings.
