A label is added to a new container when it is first named.
| Info |
|---|
Boards bundled with Comala Boards have labels pre-populated for each container. |
Any labels for a container are displayed when you mouse over each container when accessing the Design board in the board editor.
Renaming an existing board container does not change any existing container label(s) and does not add a new label to the container.
If the container requires a new label, this must be edited manually using the board editor.
On the published page container labels are only visible when viewing a card added to a container.
Cards and container labels
Cards added to a container will have the container label appended to cards when they are added.
Choose the card title to display the label.
Moving the card or card
page to another container will remove any existing labels from the card and append the label(s) for the new container.
| Info |
|---|
A linked Confluence card |
page |
has the same label(s) as the container containing the card |
page. |
Moving a card
page to another container on the board will update the label(s) appended to the linked page. The label appended from the previous container is removed.
Add a label to an existing container
Existing containers can have labels added or removed.
Be careful. If there are already cards in the containers, these existing cards
are not
appended with the new or changed labels and
are not
displayed on the
cards in the container.
To add or edit a label for an existing container
Edit the Board macro on the draft page
open the Design board in the board editor
select the container and then choose the 'Click to edit' button in the container
add the new label(s) to the container
labels can be added individually or as a comma-separated list
existing labels are displayed as a grey lozenge
remove a label by selecting the X in the label lozenge
Ensure the new label is displayed as a lozenge in the label entry box by adding and comma and pressing return or clicking in the container background.
choose Apply to save the labels to the container.
choose Save and Update the page
Any cards added prior to the addition of the second label are not
displayed in the container.
The cards are still part of the board, but there is no container for their display as the board labels act as filters. Cards must have the same labels as the board to be displayed.
A new card added to the container
is appended with both labels.

page, temporarily out of the container in advance of adding the new label
