What it is

A Label is a color-coded tag you define and apply to orders, projects, or jobs. Labels are your own categorization layer — Tread does not impose meaning on them.

Why it matters

Every operator has cuts of their work that don’t fit a standard field. Priority. Customer-specific tags. Internal categorization. Dispatch flow exceptions. Labels give dispatchers, billers, and reports a way to filter on those cuts without inventing new fields.

How Tread models it

  • Label — a name, a color, and the entity types it applies to (orders, projects, jobs).
  • Setup — create labels in Settings → Labels.
  • Apply — pick from a dropdown when creating an order or project. Bulk-apply via the bulk-edit action on the dispatch board.
  • Filter — every list view (dispatch board, project list, approvals queue) accepts label filters.
  • Search — labels show up in global search results.

Common pitfalls

Don’t use Labels for data that belongs in a structured field. If you find yourself labeling orders with the customer name, the service class, or the equipment type, use the dedicated field instead. Labels are for slicing — not for replacing master data.
Pick a small starting set — five to ten labels — and add more only when a real reporting or filtering need shows up. Label sprawl is real.
