What are Suggested Labels?
Wherever you can add a label, FiscalNote will suggest Labels based on topic hierarchy entries (topics e.g. "Tax Credit"). You can select and add those suggestions like they can select and add existing labels.
Suggested Labels uses a simple text search over FiscalNote's topic hierarchy to suggest Labels you might want to add. As you start typing, FiscalNote will auto-completes the typing with suggestions from the topic hierarchy.

Label Suggestion Q&A
Are suggested labels different from the Labels created by me?
Suggested labels are no different from the Labels created by you. All these labels appear in FiscalNote and can be edited in the same way.
Does FiscalNote check for case sensitivity when suggesting Labels?
Yes. If you type lowercase "tax", you will see suggestions for topics related to "Tax" as well. However, please note that you can still create a label that is the same phrase as an existing label but with different casing. FiscalNote is examining ways to address this issue.
What happens if I add a suggested Label in one place but later I type out that Label again in a different place?
The label you type out appears as as an existing organization label instead of a "Suggested Label".
What if someone in my organization deletes one of the labels. Will it be removed from suggestions or will I still see it?
The suggestion will reappear, so you will still see it.
