Refining and reorganizing your taxonomy

Note:

You must have assigned the Source - Read and Dataset - Review permissions as an Automation Cloud user, or the View sources and Review and annotate permissions as a legacy user.

This section explains how you can change labels by renaming, merging, or deleting them.

Note:

Merging and deleting labels are actions that cannot be undone, so be careful when doing so. If you want to make considerable changes to your taxonomy but are concerned about the outcome, you can always fork the taxonomy first by creating a copy of the dataset and then you can revert back to the old version if you are unsatisfied with the changes.

Renaming a label

Renaming a label is a simple and reversible process. You do not need to spend excessive time trying to find the perfect name for a label when initially building your taxonomy. As long as you are capturing the idea or concept with the label, you can change the name later.

Renaming a label is also the easiest way to move labels around and add layers of hierarchy to your taxonomy. For example, check the following images from the label renaming process. This label name change means that the Room Temperature label will now be nested under the Bedroom label. The model will consider all Room Temperature labels a subset of Bedroom.

To rename a label, proceed as follows:

  1. Navigate to the Explore tab.

  2. Select the gear icon for the label you want to modify in the Labels section.

    This image depicts an example of a taxonomy showing Edit label icon on hover.

A pop-up window will appear, where you can edit the label. 3. Select Rename, and edit the name of the label. 4. Select Rename label.

Merging a label

You may need to merge one label with another for a few different reasons. It might be that you have created two labels which are very similar and one label will suffice rather than two. It could also be that you have created very specific sub-labels and there are insufficient examples at that level of detail and you want to merge a label back up into its parent.

To merge one label into another, proceed as follows:

  1. Navigate to the Explore tab.

  2. Select the gear icon for the label you want to modify in the Labels section.

    This image depicts an example of a taxonomy showing Edit label icon on hover.

A pop-up window will appear, where you can edit the label 3. Select Merge. 4. Select from dropdown list the other label that you want to merge the label into. Alternatively, enter the name of the other label. 5. Select Merge label.

Deleting a label

To delete a label, either because you created it by mistake or you no longer need it, proceed as follows:

  1. Navigate to the Explore tab.

  2. Select the gear icon for the label you want to modify in the Labels section.

    This image depicts an example of a taxonomy showing Edit label icon on hover.

A pop-up window will appear, where you can edit the label. 3. Select Delete, and then Delete label.
