This feature has been finished and will be part of our feature release in mid August. For a first look at how it works, head on over to demonstration.linchpin-intranet.com. You'll be able to set labels when editing an event. And wherever events are displayed, event hub and the various macros, you'll be able to show those labels, filter by them etc.

We appreciate any feedback on this, of course :)

I wanted to give you all a quick update on this one.

We've already implemented the ability to set labels for events. Everyone who can edit an event can also add labels to it. Also, you can use those labels as filter criteria in the event portal. You can have a look at these new features on our demonstration instance (demonstration.linchpin-intranet.com), we will ship them with our feature releases for Linchpin Events and Linchpin Intranet Suite in late August.

Right now, we are actively working on offering the event labels in all the event macros as well :)

We thought of something similar: The global list of event categories should be rather short in order to keep it simple creating an event. Having this approach on categories it is impossible to display / group / filter specifically. Example:

Our IT wants to use the events for planned downtimes and maintenance. Instead of creating a category for all the different systems that could be affected we want to provide them a category "IT Systems Downtime". If there was an additional layer for categorising (e.g. labels) that can be used for this. We would prefer a preset on space level though :)
