1. To begin, click the **Labels** icon.

2. In the Review Panel, you can view any coding fields which have been created.

3. By default coding fields will appear grey. Pill shaped coding fields have three potential conditions: **Maybe / Yes / No**.
   
   **Maybe : Grey**  
   This Labels field rests in the 'Maybe' position. This field may or may not apply to this document.

   **Yes : Colour**  
   Click on a Labels field to apply it to the document. Labels fields that have been applied to a document will appear in the codes column in Grid View.

   **No : Colour**  
   Click on a Labels field to negate it. This means the Labels field does not apply to this document.
