: From both views it is easy to expand the list to
include all labels content across your Confluence site.
Using labels to display content
Labels are very powerful when used in conjunction with macros to dynamically
display content. Confluence comes with the following set of macros for labels:
•
Content by Label
: This lists pages tagged with one or more specific labels
•
Labels List
: This lists all labels of a space, grouped alphabetically
•
Navigation Map
: This creates a map of pages associated with a
specified label
•
Popular Labels
: This generates a list or
heat map
of the most popular labels
•
Recently Used Labels
: This lists the most recently used labels in a predefined
scope of spaces
•
Related Labels
: This lists labels used on other pages that have labels in
common with the current page.
We will discuss the Content by Label macro as this is probably the most used macro
of the set.
The Content by Label macro
The Content by Label macro will find and display a list of all pages, blog posts,
and attachments in a space tagged with the specified labels. Imagine yourself with
a space full of projects and customer information; with this macro you can easily
create an overview of all customers provided you labeled them.
Using labels for reviews
We often use labels to indicate whether a page needs to be reviewed or is
outdated. With the Content by Label macro we created an overview page
showing those pages. When a page is reviewed, the label is removed and,
therefore, doesn't show on the overview.
