Label Metadata
Labels are single word Talend Data Catalog wide meta tags which may be applied to any object in a Model, then searched on, reviewed and/or managed centrally within a configuration.
Steps
To tag a object with a label:
- Sign in as a user with at least the Label Editing capability object role assignment to the model containing the element.
- Navigate to the object page for the object you wish to label.
- Click the combo box underneath Labels
- Add a new label by typing it in.
- Assign already defined labels to this object by typing one or more letters of that label and selecting from the resulting pick list.
- Unassign a label by clicking in the combo box and click the “x” next to the label you wish to unassign.
Labels are defined Talend Data Catalog wide. Please keep in mind that the pool of labels defined by all users is shared across Talend Data Catalog
Once you have unassigned a particular label to all elements in the repository, the label is deleted from the pool. You, of course, may simply type it in to assign it to a new object and it is again a part of the label pool.

Permissions
To make label assignments, one must only have the Label Editing capability object role assignment on the model that contains the object you are labelling.
Multi-item or Tabular assignment of labels
When browsing in the grid or list mode label assignments may be entered just as one would update a spreadsheet. See bulk editing.
Review label assignments
One may review the label assignments across an entire configuration.
- Start a worksheet.
- Filter by Label and specify the label you wish to manage.
You are presented with all the objects with that (or a combination of) label assignment(s).
- To remove a label, simply remove all of the assignments. When the last one is removed, the label will no longer be known by the system.
