Confluence 2.6 : Working with Labels Overview
This page last changed on Jun 22, 2007 by smaddox.
Labels are user-defined tag words that can be assigned to pages and spaces, to categorise, identify or bookmark content in Confluence. For example, you can assign the label 'accounting' to all accounts-related pages on the site. You can then browse all pages with the label 'accounting' in an individual space or across the site, do a search based on it, and even use it to filter information when you subscribe to a Confluence RSS feed. Because labels are user-defined, you can add any word (or even make up your own) that helps you identify the content in the site. Labels appear below the page tabs in a page and can be added or removed without affecting the content of the page.
There are two different types of labels: Global Labels: A global label is available to all users across the site. Once a global label is added, any user with permission to view a page can also view its labels. Any user with permission to edit a page can add a global label to a page. Personal Labels: A personal label is only available to the user that created it. Any user with 'view' permission can add a personal label to a page. Here are some of the advantages of using labels:
