Is it possible to create a "sub-label" within a "label"?

My category,  labelled "Tools", is getting bigger than Ben Hur.

I want to create sub categories under the "tool" category in order to rationalize things. 

Is it possible?

    Not at the moment, and I do not think they are added.

    Of couse we need more high level options to organize, search and sort documents but I think that the labels option will be remain as it is.

    But... You can create a kind of "sub-labels" if you create labels like:
    • Tools
    • Tools-Mechanical
    • Tools-Mechanical-Bearings
    • Tools-Electrical
    • ...
    So you could tag a document with bearings with the 3 labels:
    • Tools
    • Tools-Mechanical
    • Tools-Mechanical-Bearings

    Document search should include labels into search terms that would make @emagdalenaC2C suggestion efficient. I'm sure we will see improvements in this category at some point.

    Meanwhile you could also include some keywords into doc names and use label & search under label.

    +1 for include labels in the search

    The @3dcad suggestion right know is cleaner and powerfull. But it will be better if you add all that "labels" as part of the description instead of the name. You can add a description to your documents or ParStudio, Assemblies and other tabs, and even parts.

    So you can search for a keyword
