Yes you are right, you can only attach one coloured dot, for I assume in most cases, one family name.  I think some might use it for something else, but, I use them for family names!

Edit - Actually, I was wrong, you can add more than one coloured dot/family name, sorry if I have confused everone!! But I cant see how you filter the labels/coloured dots/surnames!

If you click on 'Filters' above the list of matches, it shows you the option of 'labels' with NEW next to to it.

They've copied Ancestry which is just fine. No point reinventing the wheel.

What I can't see is a way to add a label when the match is opened. It looks like you can only do it from the main listing which is going to be a bit tricky.

The new label filter has now appeared for me. It seems the constituent parts of this feature are rolling out separately. Lets hope the coloured dots do appear in the individual match review screen, I also hope that assigned coloured dots are visible in the shared matches list.

As Corley says, let's hope the coloured dots also appear on the match's page as well as in the main listing. It's not appeared for me yet.
