Labels are key words or tags that you can add to pages and spaces. You can define your own labels and use them to categorise, identify or bookmark content in Confluence. This page describes a few ways of viewing labels and labelled content. The focus of this page is global labels. You may also be interested in viewing personal labels.

Finding the labels view

Any page that has labels will have them listed together in a block at the bottom of the page. Global labels are visible to all users with 'view' permission on the page, and personal labels are visible only to the person who added them.

To find the labels view by clicking a label:

If you are in a page that has labels, click a label.

  • If it is a personal label (starts with 'my:') you will go to the personal labels page in your user profile. See Viewing Personal Labels.
  • If it is a global label, you will go to the 'Labels' tab of the space. You will see all labels for that space. 

To find the labels view from the menu:

  • Go to a page in the space and choose Browse > Labels.

Using the labels view

The 'Labels' view offers the following options:

  • Popular Labels: See a list of the most frequently used labels in that space. From here, you can also view the most popular global labels across the site. (See Popular Labels.)
  • All Labels: View all labels in the space. From this view, you can click on a link to view an alphabetical listing of all labels across the site. Clicking on a label will list all content in the space with that label. It will also display any related labels if they exist. Related labels are labels that frequently appear on pages together. For Example, if pages labelled with 'sales' also tend to have the label 'marketing', these will be displayed as related labels.
  • See content from all spaces: Expand the list of labels to include pages and other labelled content from all spaces.

ラベルの検索

A quick way to find labelled content is to search for it. If there is a label matching your query, you will see it in the panel titled Browse Labels in the search results. Click the label to see all content in the site with that label.

Navigating pages by URL and label

This section describes how to move around your Confluence pages by adding and subtracting labels from your search results. You can search for labels by entering a URL. You can also add and subtract labels from the search.

To search labelled pages by typing a URL:

  1. Open a new web browser window.
  2. In the address bar of your web browser, type an URL such as:

    http://CONFLUENCE_HOSTNAME/label/foo+bar 
  3. Enter を押します。

  4. The 'View Labels' page will load, showing search results for pages with the labels 'foo' and 'bar'.

検索結果にラベルを追加する:

  • Click a label from the Related Labels list (at the top left).
  • A new page loads, showing pages that contain all of the labels selected so far. You can continue to add labels to the results in this way.

Subtracting a label from your search results:

Once two labels are in use, links to subtract a label from the search appear at the end of the labels list. These are easily identified because these links have a preceding minus sign, like so:

- education
