Use of labels

Because of the direct relationship between status and its labels and thus their interaction, it is important to adhere to the conventions listed below.

Prefix

A prefix is the part of the label up to the first separator (underscore "_" or hyphen "-").

The prefix must be unique within a state swapper macro set. I.e. each selection should start with the same prefix.

Examples

status_ or status-
statustotal_ or statustotal-
overallstatus_ or overallstatus-
knowledge_ or knowledge-
report_ or report-

Overall Status

Not defined,grey,pstatus-all-notdefined;On Track,green,pstatus-all-inplan;Changes,yellow,pstatus-all-changes;Critical,red,pstatus-all-critical;

Scope Status

Not defined,grey,pstatus-scope_notdefined;On Track,green,pstatus-scope_inplan;Changes,yellow,pstatus-scope-changes;Critical,red,pstatus-scope_critical;

Example

Not defined,grey,status_notdefined;Draft,yellow,status_draft;In Progress,blue,status_inprogress;Approved,green,status-approved;Rejected,red,status_rejected;

Spaces

The Status parameter may not contain spaces at certain positions in the character string. See Configuring the Viable States macro.

No space is required after the comma
No spaces are required after the semicolon
labels must not contain spaces

It is permissible for the title, i.e. the selection itself, to contain spaces.

Examples
