Save to/read from database

When you open the Label Manager for the first time, it has no entries.

To save a label to the database:

1. Select a type in the User-defined labels list.
2. Select a label in the right window in the dialog.
3. Click < to move the label to the left window and save it to the database. A new group is created automatically in the database. The saved label is available to all projects.

If the Label Manager already has groups, you can select a group to which you can add your labels. If you do not select a group, a new group is created. Note: You can only select one group. Selection in the right and left panels is carried out independently to avoid losing a bar selection when choosing a target group or while editing its name.

To copy labels from the database to the current project, select the labels from the left panel. You can select any number of groups or labels after expanding the contents of the group. Click > to move the labels to the right panel.

While copying to the database or to a project, Robot checks whether labels with the identical names as those selected for copying, already exist. If a label with the same name already exists, Robot checks its contents. If the contents of the label to be copied is identical to the contents of the existing label, then the label is not copied.

Note: When assigning labels to groups, the label with the same unique name can belong to many groups, but it is exactly the same label. Therefore, a situation can occur when a label is copied to a group without this label, but a message still displays that such a label already exists and it might be overwritten. This is caused by the presence of a label with the same name, but with different content saved in another group.
