Label pins in schematic automatically pass to PCB silk screen?

Layout
1

Hi,

Assume in my schematics I add some screwterminals/pin headers etc.

How can I label each to each pin (eg. +5V, GND, Data), so that this label is automatically added to the silk screen of the PCB? Is this possible? Or should I do this all manually while layouting the PCB?

So the idea here is that this label makes clear in which pin you need to screw which wire.

You need to do that in PCBNew. The +5V and GND are net labels which will help avoid confusion when you get to that step. You could also add a net label to the Data terminal if you wanted.
