Routing label
You might say: ready label, ready-for-agent, queue label, status column
A label or status value that tells the factory which task may handle a ticket.
- What it does
- Selects work for a task without hiding the ticket's human state.
- Ask
- Which exact label or state means this task may claim the ticket now?
- Typical
- One explicit ready label, a small set of task labels, or a status transition with a task filter.
- Trouble
- Broad labels start the wrong task, a missing label strands work, or an agent adds its own trigger label repeatedly.
What to look for
- A coloured label chip on a ticket
- A board column such as Ready or In progress
- A workflow rule matching the label or state
Connections
- Controls: Trigger
