+:::info Random label templates are rendered only once
+
+A label template containing a Random variable is rendered only if the
+[MachineInventory](machineinventory-reference) of the registering
+host doesn't have a value for that label yet (a label with the same key is missing or its value is empty).
+
+So, the three cases in which a label template with a Random variable is rendered are:
+1. the host is registering for the first time and the [MachineInventory](machineinventory-reference) is created anew
+2. the label template has been added to the MachineRegistration after the host (re-)registered last time
+3. the [MachineInventory](machineinventory-reference) label matching the label template (same label key) has been manually removed
+or its value has been cleared out
