When you apply devices to labels, you can specify search criteria rather than scroll through the list when selecting the label.

**Procedure **

1. From the Admin Portal, go to **Devices & Users**.
2. Select **Devices**.
3. Check one or more devices that you want to apply to a label.
4. In the **Apply to Label** section, enter one or more characters in **Search by Name or Description**.
   For example, enter “ca” to find all labels that begin with the letters “ca”. Ivanti EPMM displays the labels that match what you entered.
5. Check the label you want to use from the search results.
6. Click **Apply**.
