Managing conditional labels

You can define conditional labels based on the Metadata Query Language (MQL).

You can manage and create these labels from the Manage Conditional Labels page. By default, there are several conditional labels already defined.

Each conditional label has a name, definition, query and icon.

You can see conditional labels in the Conditional Labels area from the overview tab of the object pages.

Conditional labels can be displayed in search results, worksheets or data flow lineage diagrams.
