Labels in GraceDB
Labels are applied to events and superevents in GraceDB to indicate the state of that object. Some labels signify that an action is requested, while others signify that a follow-up process has completed and/or what the result of a follow-up process was. Here is a table showing the currently available labels and their meanings.
Label name |
Label description |

EM advocate says event is okay. |
ADVREQ |
EM advocate signoff requested. |
COMBINEDSKYMAP_READY |
Combined skymap is available. |
cWB_r |
cWB_r |
cWB_s |

Indicates data products associated with a Superevent’s preferred event are complete |
EM_SENT |
Has been sent to MOU partners. |
EM_Selected |
raceID automatically chosen as the most promising candidate out of a set of entries thought to correspond to the same physical event. |
EM_Superseded |
GraceID automatically passed over because another entry was thought to be more promising and to correspond to the same physical event. |
EM_Throttled |
GraceID is ignored by automatic processing because the corresponding pipeline submitted too many events too quickly. |

Protected labels
A few labels are “protected”; i.e., they are only applied by GraceDB itself as part of another process. These labels cannot be applied manually by users and any requests to do so will be rejected by the server.
At present, the following labels are protected as a part of the signoff infrastructure and are only applied by GraceDB after an operator or advocate signoff:
H1OK, L1OK, V1OK, ADVOK
H1NO, L1NO, V1NO, ADVNO
