Attributes

Attributes are metadata applied across items in Motion to track progress, priority, and reporting.

Attribute	Details
Status	Indicates state of work (e.g., Active, Completed, Archived). Applies to tasks, projects, and subtasks; used in reporting and scheduling.
Priority	Marks the relative importance of tasks and subtasks. Often used to inform scheduling and focus views.
Labels	Flexible tags that can be applied to projects, tasks, or docs for grouping and filtering. Labels are not hierarchical and can overlap.
Custom fields	User-defined fields that add structured metadata (e.g., cost, region, team). Custom fields can be used in reporting and filters.
Assignee	Tasks and subtasks require a single owner; projects may have an owner but support multiple collaborators.
Dates	Tasks, subtasks, and projects support scheduling with start date and deadline fields. These drive auto-scheduling and reporting.
Duration	Estimated time required to complete a task or subtask. Used by the scheduler to allocate blocks of work.
Workspace	Defines where the item lives. All items belong to a workspace, which sets default permissions and visibility.
Projects	Tasks can optionally be tagged to a project. If linked, the task inherits visibility, reporting, and scheduling from the project.
