Component labels in IBM® Unica Detect provide a way to categorize components for sorting and organization purposes. You create these components in the Label Manager.

Three label categories are available for each component, and you can add label items it each of these top-level categories. The default names for the label categories are Label 1, Label 2, and Label 3. You assign meaningful names using the the Label Manager.

You must create Label Items for each label category. Label Items are the values associated with each of the three label categories. When the component owner creates a component, he or she can assign up to three of these label items to each component, one for each label category. See the Detect User Guide for more information.

Label categories and label items appear on the Component List tab in the Workspace Editor. For example, Label 1, Label 2, and Label 3 could be named Trigger Number, Trigger Name, and Category. Clicking the label name sorts the components alphabetically by label item. Thus, in the example, you could sort components according to the name or number of the trigger where they are used.
