Slug conflicts
Fix OmniLab Smart Link save errors caused by a slug that is already in use somewhere in your organisation.
2 min read
A OmniLab Smart Link will not save because the slug you entered is already used somewhere in your organisation. Here is how to find the clash and choose a slug that saves.
To find an existing link by its slug, search the Links view — its search box matches Title, Slug, and Description together. The Reports view also lists Slug as a column, but its search box only matches Title, so use Links whenever you need to search by slug directly. Open either view from the left navigation.
Symptom
You create or edit a OmniLab Smart Link, enter a slug, and OmniLab will not accept it because that public name is already taken.
Likely causes
How to avoid repeated conflicts
- agree on one slug naming style across the organisation
- include the placement or channel when several links point to similar destinations
- disable and clean up old test links once they are no longer needed
- use folders to organise links, but never to make a slug unique
