Working with Labels in your Collaboration group
When configuring a Collaboration Group, you must also associate a label to each level of your collaboration group hierarchy.
These labels are the equivalent of the Group type Label in FLP Standalone. This enables you to share content in the FLP AIO platform following the hierarchy structure you have created or to specific group types, e.g., group type/label = store.
Example: Under Collaboration groups you have created the following hierarchy:
- Tree 1
- Branch A
- Branch B (Label = Bird Nest)
- Branch C
- Baby Branch D
- Baby Branch E (Label = Bird Nest)
Through the more traditional distribution model, you could choose any group. Whether you're sharing a task, story, or what-have-you, that content will be distributed to that Group and the children below it following the traditional trickle-down hierarchy rules.
But by associating the label “Bird Nest” with it, you now have an additional option. Suppose you want to distribute content across the hierarchy when sharing the content, you can select Label = Bird Nest, and the content will be shared with each group with that label rather than being limited to the groups within an individual hierarchy.
So, in essence, adding a label to each Collaboration Group within a hierarchy enables users of the All-in-one platform to share content in an additional way. That is, you can select the group you want to share it with, or, thanks to labels, you can also distribute content topically across the hierarchies you have created.
How to configure labels
Configuring labels is a two-step process:
- First, you must create a list of available labels.
- Then, when configuring the Collaboration Groups you can select from the list of available labels.
When distributing content, the end-user can select from this list of available labels under the Group Type label dropdown.
Creating a list of available Labels
First, under Account settings > Frontline Portal settings > Label management you must create the list of Labels that you would like to have available when configuring the Collaboration Groups.
- Navigate to the Frontline Portal settings > Label management.
You can manage existing labels or select the Add new button to create new labels. - Then, select Add new to add a new label.
Associating a label to your Collaboration groups
Once the labels have been created, you can associate a label to each group by navigating to Account settings > Frontline portal settings > Collaboration groups.
A label is selected when creating a Collaboration group and can be edited on any existing group in the side panel.
