What is an association label?

In CareerHub we want to make the management of data easy through the use of sorting properties such as labels and categories. By applying categories and labels to items you can quickly sort and search through content.

But what if you'd like to do more then label or categorise just one item of content, and actually record its relationship with another item? For example, you've found out that a student was successfully recruited by an employer through a CareerHub job ad. You can easily record the relationship between these two different things by applying an association label.

Unlike general labels, association labels are comprised of two-way relationships. So when creating your association labels, you'll need to describe both directions of the relationship.

In the example above, the two directions of the association label are "did a scholarship with" and "provided scholarship for."

Creating or modifying an association

To create a new association label, or to modify the ones you've already set up, head to the "Configuration" page. If you do not have rights to this page, you will have to contact the lead user of the CareerHub software in your office, or CareerHub Support if you are the lead user. Then underneath the "Labels" header, you will see an option to "Edit Association Labels."

From here you can add a new association, or edit or delete an existing association. You can also view all the items which have a specific association applied to them.
