Labels

Labels are tags on a term. They group terms by topic, team or project, so that a long glossary can be narrowed down.

Adding labels​

Labels are chosen in the Labels field of the term form. Pick existing labels from the list, or type a new one and choose Add new. A new label appears in the label filters after the term is saved. A term can have several labels or none.

Labels belong to the term as a whole. They are not translated per language.

Where labels are used​

  • On the glossary page, the Labels field in the control panel filters the list of terms.
  • In the Glossary table macro, the Labels setting limits the table to chosen labels. This is how you put a glossary of one topic on a page. A separate option shows a labels column in the table.
  • In CSV, labels are the labels column, separated by a comma.

How the filter works​

  • Several labels mean "any of them". With billing and support selected, you see terms that have billing, terms that have support and terms that have both.
  • Terms without labels are hidden while a label filter is on.
  • Search and labels work together. With both in use, a term is shown only if it matches the search and has one of the selected labels.

Search on the glossary page looks at names and alternative forms, in every language. It does not look at definitions.
