# How do I add labels to my orders?

Labels can help you organize orders you've imported into Parcelizer. They are similar to folders in your favorite email client, but they allow for more flexibility since a single order may be associated with multiple label.

For example, say you have an order for a delivery to a customer that has not yet paid. You could mark the order as `unpaid`. A few days later, the customer makes payment so you then remove the `unpaid` label from the label and add the `paid` label instead. The next day, you plan to make deliveries for all the `paid` orders. You then use the search feature on the Orders Listing to filter for `paid` orders and add them to a new route plan. Here's how the above scenario works, step by step.

**Create a new label**

On the Orders Listing page (<https://dashboard.parcelizer.com/orders>), create a new order by clicking on the \[New Order] button on the top right and choose \[Single Order]. In the Order Info section, click the \[+] button under the Labels heading followed by \[Create New Label].

**Give your label a name and color**

Next, choose a name for your label e.g. `unpaid` and a color. Click \[Create] to add the new label to the list. The new label will automatically be attached to your order.

**Search by label name**

To search for an order with a specific label e.g. `paid` or combination of labels, click the \[Filter] button on the Orders Listing page (<https://dashboard.parcelizer.com/orders>) and select the \[+] button under Labels, followed by \[Apply].

This will bring up a list of all orders with that label. Do note that the the labels filter looks for unique label combinations e.g. searching for `paid` labels only brings up orders marked with a single `paid` label, while searching for `paid` `VIP` brings up orders with both `paid` and `VIP` labels attached.
