4.4.1 About Labels Groups and Labels

Use label groups and the associated labels to classify issues.

Label Groups and Labels

Labels are organized into label groups and enable you to classify issues. For example, the Label Group Level of Effort could contain the labels Easy Fix, Moderate Effort, and Large Development Effort.

Each label group has an identifying color to enable you to quickly identify labels associated with the same group. You can define label groups as exclusive or non-exclusive. In exclusive label groups, only one label from the group may be assigned to an issue at a time. Applying another label from the same exclusive group removes any current label from that group. In non-exclusive label groups, you can assign multiple labels to an issue from the same label group.

Sample Label Groups and Labels

The following are two sample label groups and labels included in Team Development when you complete the setup process and install Sample Labels:

• Importance (Label Group)
  • Critical (Label)
  • Important (Label)
  • Normal (Label)
  • Backlog (Label)
  • Will Not Address (Label)

  This Label Group is exclusive meaning that only one label can be applied to an issue.

• Functional Area (Label Group)
  • Bug (Label)
  • Enhancement Request (Label)
  • Feature Request (Label)
  • Security Issue (Label)
  • Performance Issue (Label)
  • Documentation Issue (Label)
  • Training Issue (Label)

  This Label Group is non-exclusive meaning that only one label can be applied one or more labels.

If you completed the setup process, you can view the other sample label groups and labels by clicking the Team Development menu and selecting Labels. To view the labels within a label group, click a label group name.
