How to: Change a Relationship Element label
If the Element Label for a relationship is not specific enough, or is too specific, or you just need to change it to a different one, you can simple choose a different label, as long as the replacement label is part of the same group as the existing label.
For example, 'Author' and 'Composer' are both sub-elements of 'Creator', so you can change 'Author' to 'Composer' or to 'Creator' or any of the other sub-elements of 'Creator'. But you cannot change 'Author' to 'Producer' because that is a sub-element of a different element: 'Other Person, Family, or Corporate Body Associated with a Work'.
Quick Steps
- Click on the Element Label that you wish to change
- Either:
- Choose the label you want to use instead, from the pull-down list that displays
- Type the label you want to use (as long as it is one on the pull-down list for the parent element)
- Enter <F7> to see a structured list from which you can choose
