Hello

Im currently investigating the use of the Labels feature and its functionality which is being done on my test board linked above 

Just a couple of questions regarding this 


1) Is it possible to auto add a label to all posts ? (Soon as a post created give it a "Pending" label automatically)

2) Is it possible to filter by such labels ? (EG: Filter all threads labelled as "Pending")   

3) Would it be possible to add something to the info center to count all threads with each label as defined ?

For Example im going to add just 3 labels to one board which will be >> Pending, In Progress and Completed

Is there a way to count how many threads contain say "Pending" label and so on for each one 

Thanks 

Dave

Hi, Dave B.

1) Nope. There always has to be user interaction to do so.

2) Yes. Just click the magnifying glass icon next to the search bar in any board and there should be a button to filter by labels in the dialog that pops up.

3) Nope. We don't keep track of the count.

   Hello Brian

   Ok thanks for that, Maybe 1 and 3 could be future developments ?

It's possible if we see some sort of demand for it, currently the label system is pretty disused. I'll go ahead and label this as a feature request though.

   Thanks Michael

   Although to be honest with you i didnt really even notice it or if it was even possible up until a few hours ago and i havent seen many threads / posts regarding labels so i wonder if many just dont know it exists or even what it could be used for

  But would be good to see it develop a little more now i know a bit more about them and that they exist il now use them

I think they're the most important organizational tool in v5 and hope they catch on for more forums. It's just a great way to manage things.
