Some tips on using labels in the platform

The label feature in embedADAPT allows you a very flexible way of categorising elements of the platform. Currently you can add labels to:

  • Key Functions

  • Teams

  • Roles

  • Actions

  • Objectives

  • Systems

  • Task maps

Some notes about labels:

  • Labels are global across your organisation. If a label is first defined in an action, then it is available everywhere else that labels can be used.

  • Labels can be created by anyone with the edit permissions for that object. If someone can edit an action, then they will have permission to create a label.

  • Labels and search are fully integrated, clicking on a label will navigate to the search screen and show all usages of the label

Here are some examples of how we think you could use labels in your organisation.

  • For project based teams you might have a large number of projects. You could create a new board per project, or you could use a label to quickly categories the actions.

  • To categorise teams by their physical location (e.g. Western Australia, Queensland).

  • To link objectives and actions in various teams across your organisation. This might be used to tie a short-lived project team to a particular organisation objective (e.g. Project Alpha, Project Beta).

  • To enable a simple review process of your platform. One example, might be a organisation leader who is reviewing the roles in your organisation. They might use labels such as 'To Review', 'In Review', 'To Be Deleted', etc.

  • To store priorities of actions. One simple example might be to set some labels such as 'High Priority', 'Low Priority' to better enable analysis of your work in progress.
    ​
    Another example prioritising actions is the common "ABC-123" methods of task planning.
