Label Documents
Labeling is a way of identifying a group of documents within a visualized
answer set. Labeling involves creating a label
for the document group and then applying that label to the group. After
it is applied to an initial group, a label can be applied to additional
groups of documents. Individual documents can be associated with multiple
labels.
Notes:
- Multiple word labels are allowed
- Labels cannot be longer than 30 characters
- Documents do not need to be related to be labeled. Labeling is
a good way to form document subsets for subsequent saving, sharing,
or manipulation (e.g., combining with other answer sets).
- Labels cannot be created without being applied to one or more documents.
Labels become standalone (i.e., not attached to any document) when
they are cleared from documents to which
they are applied.
- It is possible to overwrite an existing label (that is, label a
set of documents with protease when protease
already exists as a label). If you do, the documents you label when
the overwrite occurs are added to the existing labeled set,
- Labels persist as part of a visualization project but cannot be
saved apart from the visualization project. As a result, labels are
lost if the visualization project they are part of is deleted. Also,
labels are not inherited by visualized subsets.
- You cannot undo (Edit > Undo
or ) the creation or application
of a label. However, you can clear,
remove, or delete
the label.
Use the Labels chart to maintain your
labels.
There are several ways to label documents:
To label
documents from a bar or matrix chart:
- Choose a bar or cell associated with either highlighted or unhighlighted
documents in the visualization workspace.
- Right-click and select Apply Label.
- On the Apply Label dialog box, select and/or create label(s) to
apply:
- To select existing labels, check the label(s) in the Select
Label(s) list box. Multiple labels selected at the same
time will be applied to a common group of documents.
- To create a label, type the label name in the New Label
field.
Note:
You can select existing labels and create a new one at the same
time. If you type a label name that duplicates the name of an
existing label, a new label is not created; instead, the existing
label is selected.
- To apply the label(s), click OK.
To label
documents from the Documents or Details viewer:
- Highlight documents in the visualization workspace. By default,
all documents highlighted in the visualization workspace are displayed
on the Documents viewer.
- To label:
- All highlighted documents, go to Step 3
below and use the Select Label method
- Selected highlighted documents, select multiple documents on
the Documents viewer. Then go to Step 3
below and use the Select Label method.
- One highlighted document, select one document on the Documents
viewer or access details of that document using the Details
viewer
- Select and/or create label(s)
to apply, using one of these methods:
- Select an existing or type a new label name in the Select Label...
field. To clear the field for typing, click in the field or select
New Label from the menu.
Note: You can type
only one label at a time in the Select Label... field.
- Right-click and select Apply Label. On the
Apply Label dialog box, to select existing labels, check the label(s)
in the Select Label(s) list box; multiple labels
selected at the same time will be applied to a single group of
documents (highlighted in step 1). To create a label, type a label
name in the New Label field.
Note:
On the Apply Labels dialog box, you can select existing labels
and create a new one at the same time. If you type a label name
that duplicates the name of an existing label, a new label is
not created; instead, the existing label is selected.
- If you right-clicked and selected Apply Label, choose what you
want to apply the label(s) to:
- To apply the label(s):
- Click OK (Apply Label dialog box)
- Press <Enter> (References or Details
viewer)
To label
highlighted documents:
- Highlight documents in the visualization workspace.
- Select Tools > Apply Label....
Note: If no documents
are highlighted, the Apply Label... item is unavailable.
OR
On the Highlight Manager, right-click on a highlight set and select
Apply Label to Highlight Set.
The Apply Label to Highlighted Documents dialog box displays.
- Select existing label(s) or type a new label name. To clear the
New Label field for typing, click in the field.
Note: In the dialog
box, you can select existing labels and create a new one at the same
time. If you type a label name that duplicates the name of an existing
label, a new label is not created; instead, the existing label is
selected.
