# What is a label configuration?

## Description:

The label configuration defines which labels and classifications are available for the current project.\
You can define [geometries](/documentation/label-configuration/entry-types.md#geometries) for labeling, attach [classifications](/documentation/label-configuration/entry-types.md#classifications) to them or create global classifications for more general questions.\
\
You can customize the [geometries](/documentation/label-configuration/entry-types.md#geometries)' colors so they won't clash with your datasets and set up shortcuts to speed up the workflow. 

[Classifications](/documentation/label-configuration/entry-types.md#classifications) can be set as required so that users have to fill them out before continuing with the next task.\
\
You may edit the configuration anytime you like. All finished tasks will be automatically re-enqueued so that new configuration items can be added by your labelers.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Label configurations can only be edited by project owners or admins of the organisation.
