Tasks

Labels & categories

Labels categorise tasks by the type of work they represent. The default set reflects typical UK and Irish engineering workflows — but you can customise them for your practice.

Default labels

RFI
Requests for information from clients, contractors, local authorities or other parties. Use for any external information chase.
Drawing
Drawing production tasks — GA plans, sections, details, sketches. Any task resulting in a document issued to another party.
Calc
Structural or civil engineering calculations. Calc tasks support a sign-off workflow — a senior engineer can mark a calc as checked and approved.
Council
Planning permission submissions, pre-application consultations and council correspondence.
Building Regs
Building control submissions, commencement notices and compliance sign-offs.

Adding custom labels

  1. 1Go to Settings → Labels.
  2. 2Click + New label.
  3. 3Give it a name and choose a colour from the palette.
  4. 4Click Save. The label immediately appears in the task label picker across all projects.
TipCustom labels work best for practice-specific workflow steps that aren't covered by the defaults — for example "Specification", "Tender" or "Site visit".
