Instance (Current) labels are labels that you put on the instance object (or current). So if in an Assign Labels activity you change the Assign Labels To field to say current instead of token then you'll be creating instance labels. They work basically the same as token labels except they're stored on the instance object instead of the token.

@Matthew Gillespie I am not very much familiar with how to keep labels on instance object. Could you please add small sample model so it will help me to understand.

In this model Processor1 uses an On Entry trigger to update its RedBoxes label and Processor10 uses an instanced flow to listen to its OnEntry event and then update its RedBoxes label.

another example:

Instance label throughPut is incremented. Console Output shows this value, the instanced object, an instanced Object label, the Output of a Queue and the token.id

@Jörg Vogel. Thanks your answer.

In the model you have shared in Process flow Instances you have chosen Instance Creation as Global. What is the difference between choosing Global, per instance, per block and per token. Could you please help me to understand the difference among them.

I have chosen to use a sub process flow. The instances are created dynamically when they access the sub process. I guess the Instance Creation defines how assets are used by the instances. I don't know it for sure.
