Labels

A placeholder shows a value as it is: {marker.type} shows Comment, in every language, and {marker.named} shows true. A label shows words instead, chosen by the value: Comment marker "Intro", or Unnamed marker.

Labels are optional. Most rules don't need any.

The Labels sectionCopy Anchor Link

The built-in Markers outside the work area rule has two labels:

Each label has:

• a Name: messages insert the label as {labels.<name>}, shown in the label's title;
• a Field: the value that picks the words;
• its Wording: one row per value, with the Value to match and the Text to show for it.

Its message is then:

{labels.marker} at {marker.startTimecode} is after the end of the sequence ({sequence.endTimecode}).

which reads Marker "Intro" (Comment) at 00:01:10:00 is after the end of the sequence (00:01:00:00)., or Unnamed marker (Chapter) at ….

Build a labelCopy Anchor Link

1. Click Add label, and give it a name.
2. Pick its Field.
3. For each value, click Add value, type the value in Value and the words in Text.

How values are matched:

• as text: the values of a yes/no field are true and false;
• a value with no row shows as it is;
• a text may contain placeholders, and other labels ({labels.markerType} above);
• a text may be empty, to leave out a part of the sentence for some values;
• the … button of a row inserts a placeholder, or turns the text into plural forms.

Labels and languagesCopy Anchor Link

The texts of a label are edited in the panel's language, like messages, and fall back to English in the others. Translating the label is how a rule words a value in each language. See Translations.

Labels are the labels object of the rule file: { "field", "values" } per name. See Labels.
