Tags, reactions, kudos & flags

Label work with tags, react to posts, praise good work with kudos and flag concerns — all without leaving the thread.

What it does

Threadwork gives you two undeletable default tag categories — Priority and Status — plus the ability to add your own. On posts, you can add an emoji reaction, give kudos to recognise great work, or raise a flag to surface a concern.

Where to find it

Reactions, kudos and flags are under every post in a thread's conversation.
Apply tags to a thread from the tag row beneath its title.
Manage tags at Settings → Tags (/dashboard/settings/tags).
Default tags (Priority, Status) are seeded for your team automatically.

Step by step

React to a post

Open a thread and find a post in the conversation.
Click 👍 to react, Award to give kudos, or Flag to raise a concern.
Click again to remove it.

Tag a thread

Open a thread. Under the title, click the dashed + Tag chip.
Search for a tag by name, or filter by category using the rail on the right. Click a tag to add it; click

again to remove it. Applied tags show as coloured chips.

Create a tag on the fly (managers): type a name that doesn't exist yet and choose Create “…” — set its

fill/border colour, type and category, then create. New tags inherit their category's colours by default.

Create a group (category) from Create group at the bottom, or jump to the full editor with Manage tags.

Tags that need a person (User & User + Status)

Some tags are tied to a person — e.g. Requires-Response for a specific teammate.

In the + Tag picker, choose a User or User + Status tag (marked with a ›). You're then asked who —

pick the person. The tag is applied as {tag} - {Initial Lastname} (e.g. Requires-Response - A Khan).

Change the person later by clicking the small profile circle on the chip and choosing someone else — the

chip renames itself (and a tag for that person is created automatically if it doesn't exist yet).

A User + Status tag also shows a checkbox. Tick it to mark the item handled — the chip is struck

through. Until it's ticked, the item shows up in that person's Response required list on Home. Untick to reopen.

Mentioning people: in any composer — a post, a block, a thread description or a room message — type @ and pick someone. The mention shows as a clean @Name chip (not raw markup), and the person is notified.

Tag a post

In a thread's conversation, each post has its own dashed + Tag chip under it.
Add tags to a post exactly like a thread — including User and User + Status tags (pick a person,

change them via the avatar, tick the status to strike it through). Useful for marking a post to include in a report, or flagging it as "Requires Response" from someone. Post tags are independent of the thread's tags.

Filter a board by tag

On a project board, the tags in use appear as filter chips in the toolbar, each with a count.
Click one or more to show only threads carrying those tags. Click Clear to reset.
With two or more tags selected, an Any / All toggle appears — Any matches threads with at least

one of the tags, All matches only threads carrying every selected tag. You can also group the board by tag with the Stage / Tag toggle (see the Threads & boards guide).

Manage tag categories and tags

Go to Settings → Tags.
Add a category — name, a fill colour and an optional border colour. The colour pickers offer a quick

palette of preset swatches plus a hex field for anything else.

Add tags to a category: name, a type (Simple, User, or User + Status), and fill/border colours.

For User and User + Status tags you don't pick a person here — that happens when the tag is used, which creates a per-person version of the tag automatically.

Edit a category (rename / recolour) with its ✎, remove a tag with its ✕, or delete a whole category

with its 🗑. The built-in Priority, Status and Uncategorised categories are locked — they can't be edited or deleted (you can still add tags to them).

Uncategorised is the catch-all: a tag created without a category lands here, and **deleting a category moves its

tags here rather than deleting them** — so nothing tagged ever loses its label.

What each screen shows

Reaction row — the three reaction buttons under each post, each showing a count and highlighting when you've reacted.
Thread tag row — the thread's current tags plus a + Tag picker grouped by category.
Board toolbar — tag filter chips with live counts.
Settings → Tags — every category with its tags, add/remove controls, and a "New category" form.

Tips

Kudos and Flags notify the post's author, so recognition and concerns both get seen.
The default Priority and Status categories can't be deleted, so everyone shares the same labels.
Use a User + Status tag like Requires-Response for anything that needs a specific person to act — pick the

person when you apply it, and tick the chip's checkbox once they've responded.

Auto-clear tags on resolve. An owner/admin can turn on Clear tags when a thread is resolved in

Settings → Team — handy if you use tags as a working-state signal (e.g. Blocked, Needs-review) that should disappear once the task is done. It only affects threads resolved after it's switched on, and re-opening a thread doesn't restore its old tags.

Search reactions & tags (Reactions & tags insights)

To see how reactions and tags are used across your work, open Reports → Reactions & tags (/dashboard/insights):

A search box filters both lists by name.
The Reactions and Tags lists show each one with its total usage count.
Click a row to expand a breakdown across every layer — counts grouped by Workspace, Project, **Task

List (and the layers of any other context, e.g. Collection / Notebook*). A tag on a task counts toward its task list, its project and* its workspace.

Each person's version of a User / User + Status tag counts on its own, so you can search e.g.

Requires-Response - A Khan to see everything still needing a response from that person.

Counts only include work in workspaces you can see, so private-workspace activity never leaks.

Troubleshooting

Reaction didn't stick? Reactions toggle — clicking the same one again removes it.
Can't delete Priority/Status? They're built-in defaults and are locked on purpose; you can still edit their tags.
