Statuses and Labels
Statuses and labels are two complementary systems for organizing and tracking posts in Trackelio. Statuses represent where a post is in your workflow, while labels add cross-cutting tags that can apply to any post regardless of its status.
Statuses
Section titled “Statuses”Statuses are configurable pipeline stages that track the progress of a post from submission to completion. Each workspace defines its own set of statuses.
Status properties
Section titled “Status properties”Each status has the following attributes:
- Name — The display name (e.g., “In Progress”).
- Color — A color used to visually distinguish the status.
- Sort order — A numeric value that controls the order statuses appear in the interface.
- Show on roadmap — A flag that determines whether posts with this status appear as columns on the public roadmap.
Common status examples
Section titled “Common status examples”A typical status pipeline might include:
| Status | Purpose | Show on roadmap |
|---|---|---|
| Open | Newly submitted, awaiting review | No |
| Planned | Accepted and scheduled for future work | Yes |
| In Progress | Currently being worked on | Yes |
| Complete | Finished and delivered | Yes |
| Closed | Rejected or no longer relevant | No |
You can customize these to match your team’s workflow. The show_on_roadmap flag gives you control over which stages are visible to users on the public roadmap view.
Changing statuses
Section titled “Changing statuses”Moderators and workspace owners can change a post’s status at any time. Every status change is recorded in the post’s event audit trail.
Labels
Section titled “Labels”Labels are color-coded tags that provide an additional layer of categorization beyond boards and statuses. They are useful for marking cross-cutting concerns that apply across different boards.
Label properties
Section titled “Label properties”Each label has the following attributes:
- Name — The display name of the label.
- Color — A color used to visually identify the label.
Using labels
Section titled “Using labels”- A post can have multiple labels applied at the same time.
- Labels are managed at the workspace level and are available across all boards.
- Moderators can add or remove labels from any post.
Example labels
Section titled “Example labels”Labels are flexible and can represent anything relevant to your workflow:
- iOS — Platform-specific feedback.
- Performance — Related to speed or resource usage.
- UX — User experience improvements.
- High Priority — Requires urgent attention.
- Quick Win — Low effort, high impact.
Use labels to filter and group posts in ways that complement your board and status structure.
