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.

Viewing the assignments of a specific label

You can view a list of resources that each label is assigned to in the Label Factory.

Follow this procedure to view the assignments of a specific label.

  1. Display all available labels.
  2. For a specific row item, click the options menu at the right end of the row.
  3. Select Show Assignment.
    The Label Assignment page opens to show a list of assignments for the selected label under the Object Name heading.

Querying the label assignment list

After opening the label assignments of a specific label, you can refine the assignment list to find a specific subset of fabric items with a specific label or series of labels associated.

Follow this procedure to query the Label Assignment list.

  1. Open the Label Factory view.
  2. Select the Label Assignment category filter.
  3. Enter a search string in the search query field.
  4. Click REFRESH LIST.
    The list is refined to display only fabric elements that match the query.
  5. Optional: Add additional details in the search query field to further refine the list of fabric elements.
  6. Optional: Click REFRESH LIST to display the refined fabric elements list.

You can continue to refine the Label Assignment list by adding more values to the search query.

Click CLEAR ALL to clear the queries.

You can view more information about specific fabric elements that have been assigned the label by clicking an element in the list, then expanding the information panel on the right side of the page by clicking . The information panel shows more details about the currently selected fabric element.

Label assignment queries

The Label Assignment view 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, using the following operators:

  • 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 using lists.
