# Additional stop label (https://docs.pulsarml.com/guides/settings/additional-stop-label)

Add a custom third field to stop classification, such as supervisor or equipment, and choose its values for each machine.



The additional stop label is a field you can customize: you choose its name and use it for whatever your operation needs, such as supervisor name or equipment. It adds more detail to the information about your machines' stops. It's optional and doesn't affect Analytics.

## Set up the label [#set-up-the-label]

<Steps>
  <Step>
    ### Name the category [#name-the-category]

    Go to **Settings** > **Stops** and open the **Stop Labels** tab. The additional label is the third table, below **Specific Stop Causes**. Its title is the label's name, **Default name** until you change it. Click the pencil icon next to the name, type a name for the category you want to add, for example the supervisor's name or equipment, and click the check mark to save it (or the X to cancel).
  </Step>

  <Step>
    ### Add its values [#add-its-values]

    Add the values one by one with **Add Stop Label**: type the value in **Name** and click **Add Stop Label** in the window. Or upload them from a `.csv` file with **Import from CSV**: download the **sample file**, fill it in, upload it and click **Confirm**.

    ### Assign the values to machines [#assign-the-values-to-machines]

    Open the **Catalog Assignment** tab. For each machine, click **Select** in the **Custom Label** column, tick the values that apply to it (or **Select All**) and click **Apply**.

  </Step>
</Steps>

When you [classify stops](/guides/desktop-app/stops#classify-a-stop), you'll find this field after **General Cause** and **Specific Cause**. It's also available in [stop automation](/guides/settings/stop-automation) rules.

If you have trouble with the additional stop label or need help, contact your Customer Success representative or [raise a support ticket](/guides/getting-started/support-ticket) from the app.
