Assigning status labels


Adobe GoLive comes with the default color-coded file status labels "Essential," "Hot," "In Progress," "Cool," "Personal," "Project 1," and "Project 2." (The same default labels appear in the Mac OS Finder.) Color-coded files appear in navigation views, links views, and design views. In Windows, you can edit any of these labels--delete, rename, or recolor it. In either Window or Mac OS, you can add a new label. You can assign any one status to any file.

Note: Adobe GoLive also uses the term "status" to indicate the state of links and references at a site--for example, in the Status column of the Files tab. For information, see Checking the site for pages with errors. Be careful not to confuse these two types of file status.

Sometimes individual files have multiple statuses, for example, both "In Progress" and "Personal." If you need multiple labels for your files, use collection labels instead of status labels. For information, see Creating a collection.

To add or edit a file status:

1 Do one of the following:
  • To add or edit a status for the active site only, click the Site Settings button () on the toolbar or choose Site > Settings. Then click Status in the left panel, and select Site Specific Settings.
  • To add or edit a status for all sites, choose Edit > Preferences, expand Site in the left pane, and click Status in the left panel.

    • 2 Do one of the following:
  • To add a new label, click New. A new white label appears with the name "New Label."
  • To edit an existing label, select it.

    • In Mac OS, you can edit the default labels in the Finder preferences.

    3 Perform any of the following edits:
  • Type another name for the label.
  • Click the color field and change the color of the label.
  • Click Delete to delete the label.

    • 4 Click OK.

    To assign a status to a file:

    1 Select the file in the Files tab, Extras tab, Navigation tab, or Links tab.

    2 Click the File tab in the File Inspector.
