60. Work with triage attributes

A triage attribute is a label you attach to a run to capture information about it. Attributes are the building blocks of an effective triage workflow — you use them to classify runs, filter views, and define rules that apply automatically to future results.

Typical uses include:

• Override a failed verdict — mark a run as Passed once your team has reviewed and accepted it.
• Dismiss known non-issues — set the status to Non Issue and hide those runs from your view.
• Track bugs — link runs to issue IDs in an external bug tracker.
• Refine your data — tag runs with custom labels to group and filter results more precisely.

To see a complete list of the predefined triage attributes, see Run attributes.
