  2. Click on “Actions” and opt for “Add label”.
  3. Choose the desired labels from the list.
  4. Click “Apply”.

Using Nested Labels for Invoices

Hierarchical labeling can be pivotal for intricate invoice management. OctopusPro provides nested labels for this purpose. Instructions are identical to the nested labeling in inquiries.

Filtering Invoices by Labels

Seeking specific invoices becomes a breeze with label filters:

  1. Go to Invoices > All Invoices and hit the “Filter” button.
