Tags vs. Track Statuses

Tags and statuses serve different purposes in Trackler. A status shows the current phase of a Track, while tags help you filter, organize, trigger workflows, and control access to content.

What is a Track Status?

A Track Status defines the current phase of a Track. Examples include:

  • Lead – the Track is in an early or exploratory stage

  • Onboarding – the Track has just started

  • Active – the Track is ongoing

  • Paused, Completed, Cancelled, Archived – for different follow-up stages

Each Track can have only one status at a time.
Statuses are useful for reporting, automation, and pricing (e.g. only active Tracks count toward billing).


What is a Tag?

A tag is a flexible label you can create and apply freely. Tags are ideal for:

  • Grouping Tracks or users (e.g. “Team A,” “VIP Client”)

  • Filtering reports

  • Controlling access to forms or e-learnings

  • Setting conditions in workflows

A Track can have multiple tags at once.
Tags can also be used on workflows, forms, and e-learnings.

Best practice: Combine them

You don’t need to choose between tags and statuses — they’re most powerful when used together. For example:

  • Set the status to Active, and use a tag to mark the Track as “Internal Team”

  • Use a tag to unlock a form, and update the status to Completed once the form is submitted
