Exclude multiple components from taxonomy

If you know that more than one component shouldn't be included in a classification, you can use a component tag to tell other users not to add those components to your taxonomy.

Restrictions

  • You must have Update permissions to the component to make tag changes. Tags are read-only for users without update permissions.
  • A content owner or administrator can set permissions to deny access to components or folders. If your permissions to content has been blocked and you are not an administrator, you cannot use the Details option in a project's Content pane.

Tips and tricks

  • Component tags are added to a component's Inspire metadata.
    • These tags cannot be added, updated or removed using the Oxygen editor.
    • These tags cannot be used to transform the XML during publishing.
    • These tags are not included in the XML when you export the component.
  • Inspire metadata tags are applied to an entire component and are not the same as XML tags used in the Oxygen editor. For help with XML tags, read: Show or hide tags in Oxygen.
  • Inspire provides the pre-defined tag Excludefromtaxonomy. However, Administrators can customize tag names and availability.
  • After you save the tag, Inspire makes sure that the component can't be selected in the following places:
    • In the Oxygen editor, on the left side panel, after selecting Taxonomy.
    • On the Selected Components panel, after selecting the Taxonomy option.
  • You can use this tag on binary components such as an image or PDF file.
  • You can also prevent project files from being included in a taxonomy.

To exclude only one component, read Exclude a component from taxonomy.

To exclude multiple components from taxonomy:

  1. Click Components menu.
  2. In the Components browser, locate the components you want to exclude from translation and select the checkbox next to that component.
  3. In the Selected Components pane, click Apply Tags Apply_Tags.

  4. On the Update tags screen, select one of the following options:

    • Add. If you select this option, all previously existing tags are saved, and the ExcludeFromTaxonomy tag is added to them.

      If the ExcludeFromTaxonomy tag is already applied and you select Add, you don't see an error and no change is made to the metadata.

    • Replace. (This is the default selection.) If you select this option, all previously existing tags are removed and the ExcludeFromTaxonomy tag is the only one applied to the components.
  5. In Tags, select ExcludeFromTaxonomy.

  6. Select Save.
    Results:
    • The Apply tags screen closes and you see the Components browser.
    You see something similar to the following notifications:
    When the process is finished, you see one message for all updated components:
    • In the pop-up message in the right corner of the Inspire screen
    • In Inspire on the Notifications tab
    • In your email Inbox
    After you apply a tag, you must refresh the Components browser before the tag is displayed.
    You see the component marked with the tag icon in the Components browser.

    Tips and tricks

    • Look in the 8th column after the initial checkbox.
    • If it exists, the tag icon appears after (the Shared icon) and before or (the file type icon).
    • To see the name of all tags that are applied, hover your cursor over the tag icon.

    Remember: a component with this tag applied can't be selected in the following places:
    • In the Oxygen editor, on the left side panel, after selecting Taxonomy.
    • On the Selected Components panel, after selecting the Taxonomy option.
