Nested Labels in GMail

New in Labs: Nested Labels and Message Sneak Peek - Official Gmail Blog:
Thursday, April 08, 2010 | 5:27 PM

Labels are more flexible than folders because a given email can have several labels but can't be in several folders at the same time. A highly requested feature for labels, though, comes from the world of folders: the ability to organize labels hierarchically.

If you think this might be useful to you, go to the Gmail Labs tab under Settings, look for 'Nested Labels,' enable it and click 'Save.' You'll then need to name your label with slashes (/) to make it the child of another. For example, let's say you wanted to create a simple hierarchy with a 'Home' label, and inside it a 'Family' and a 'Vacation' label. Just create three labels with the following names:

Home
Home/Family
Home/Vacation

You can then create 'Home/Family/Kids,' 'Home/Pets,' etc., to get something like the screenshot on the left. If you had the parent label 'Home' before you don't have to create it from scratch.

---

Note:

1. Labels need to be created one by one from parent to child.  For example above: it is to create "Home" and then "Home/Family": i.e., cannot create "Home/Family" directly without having "Home" before, otherwise we'll get non-hierchical "Home/Family" as a single label.
2. The label "/" is not effected (so far).

ต่างจังหวัด

Recently feel uncertain to use "upcountry" (or "up-country"?) as it is not direct translation. Anyway, probably it's still the best term.

SMART goal

specific, measurable, achievable, results-oriented and targets

[source: Seagate iMAP programme]

toolkit, toolbox

(They are not in Longman dictionary)

• toolkit [n] a set of software applications that aid a task; also written "tool kit", also called toolset.
• toolbox [n] a box or case in which tools are kept.

[source: dictionary.reference.com]

According that toolkit means group of tools, so it needn't be plural forms (toolkits does not mean many tools but many sets of tools).
