Before you start
The label upload is a plain list: one row creates one label.
ℹ️ Note
The upload only creates new labels. It can't update an existing one, and a single duplicate will cause the whole file to be rejected, not just that row.
Step 1: Prepare your file
- Open the label upload template https://filtered-content.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/000.+Success+Centre+Assets/Assets/label_upload_template.xlsx
- Fill in the name column with the label's title, e.g. "Backend"
- Fill in the definition column with a short description of what the label covers
- Repeat for every label you want to add, one per row
name | definition |
Backend | Skills and assets related to server-side development. |
Frontend | Skills and assets related to user-facing development. |
Compliance | Skills and assets related to regulatory and policy requirements. |
⚠️ Warning
Both columns are required on every row. A blank name or definition will cause that row to be rejected.
Step 2: Check for duplicates
- Make sure no label name is repeated within your file
- Make sure none of the names already exist in your organisation
💡 Tip
Names are compared with leading and trailing spaces removed, but they're otherwise case-sensitive. "Backend" and "backend" are treated as two separate labels.
Step 3: Upload your file
- Navigate to the label upload screen
- Upload your completed file
- If any name in the file already exists in your organisation, or appears more than once in the file, the whole upload will be rejected. Fix the flagged rows and try again

What's next
Once your labels are uploaded, you can reference them by their exact name in the Label rows of the skill bulk upload, to tag skills with the labels they belong to.
