Hi,

The Smart Labels for Confluence harnesses the power of AI to automatically generate page labels. If you have existing labels within a particular space, the app smartly integrates those into its process.

Helpful and easy to digest tutorial. Thank you.

Thanks Matt! I’m glad we’re moving in the right direction because I already created a whole system of labels and I’m going to share your tips with the engineering teams to let them know the cool things they can do!

Another great video! Headed over to add this heat map now. Thanks!

can the Content by Labels macro be set up to prompt for the label to search for? I would like to go to a Contents by Label page that has a prompt for a label or labels that is fed into the Content by Labels macro

Can you create label sets/groups that allow you to group like labels together? I use a "key-value pair" approach to labels as a way to achieve field like searching. For example instead of labels for regions like EMEA, APAC, US, CANADA my label name is REGION-EMEA, REGION-APAC, REGION-US, REGION-CANADA. I would like to group these labels into a REGION group to allow for filtering. This is similar to defining choice columns in sharepoint then using filtering capability in sharepoint lists.

Really helpful thank you. Can I ask is there a way to search for all pages that do not have a label? Thanks

[davidmeyers]

The Labels List does not seem to specify labels from ALL spaces when no space is selected? Also, in the Labels List display is there a way to display the Space name from which the Labels List is displaying?

Hey Folks - thanks for the video, lots of great ideas. One thing I'm struggling with. I want to display the labels for each page within the page content itself, but I can't see how?

Thanks Matt for the video . But I have a Question, It is possible to use "Tags" instead of Labels ? I am working on Confluence and I am not an expert . My Collegues create some pages on confluence and it is very difficult for us to find a specifically information in this chaos🤣 . Now To want to used "Tags" to better organise it . Thank you for your help 😊

Hi,
While i'm within my group Space (within the entire organization), is there a way I can add a macro to ONLY "search by label".? (Other than the advanced search, which unfortunately searches all of our Confluence)

[nadezhdakarkelanova]

is there a way to apply a label from pre created list?
