Label assignment management
In addition to creating labels, you can use the Label Assignments view to understand how the inventory of labels is being used throughout the system. A label can have hundreds or even thousands of assignments, so the Label Assignments page can show you the fabric elements, either real or virtual, that a specific label is assigned to.

Creating label assignment list string queries
The Label Assignment page shows a list of all assignments for a specific label. A label can have hundreds or even thousands of assignments.
You can refine the Label Assignment list to find a specific subset of fabric items that are assigned a specific label. Use the search query field to refine the list.
In the search query field, enter an expression to include or exclude particular label values. Operators you can use in this expression include the following (followed by an example for each):
OR, AND, and NOT
"<LabelName1>" = "<LabelValue1>" or "<LabelName2>" = "<LabelValue2>"
IN and NOT IN
"<LabelName>" in ( "<LabelValue1>" or "<LabelValue2>" or "<LabelValue3>" )
EXISTS and NOT EXISTS
exists ("<LabelName1>" or "<LabelName2>" or "<LabelName3>")
Entering a search query allows you to filter a series of fabric items that have specific multiple labels assigned, while excluding fabric items that also have specific other labels assigned.
For example, if you want to see a list of fabric elements assigned the Label_A label, but exclude any fabric items that are also assigned the Label_B label, you can enter the following search query:
INCLUDE (Label = "Label_A") EXCLUDE (Label = "Label_B")
Based on the search query, the Label Assignment list displays only fabric elements assigned Label_A. The fabric elements in the list may also be assigned multiple other labels. You can continue to refine the search by adding additional criteria to the query.
You can filter the list of available labels as described in Lists.
