Using labels

Overview

Labels provide a way to organize songs. When editing a song, you can add labels to the song. These labels are visible to all of your SongBook users. You can view a list of all songs with a particular label, or search for songs with one or more labels.

Labels can be used in various ways. Here are a few examples:

  • Topics (Joy, Trust, Obedience)
  • Seasons (Easter, Thanksgiving, Christmas)
  • Song type (Choir, Children’s song, Special music)

Adding a label to a song

  1. Edit the song (by viewing it, clicking Arrangement info, then clicking Edit).
  2. If the label you want to add already exists, just check the checkbox in the Labels section.
  3. If you want to create a new label, type it into the text field in the Labels section. You can add multiple labels by separating them with commas. Note that labels cannot contain commas.
  4. Click Save changes to song.
