Resolution

Action Noun labels describe a state, condition, requirement, or a conceptualized action. They do not represent work actively performed by a participant

Classification Rules:

Rule 1: Adjective + Noun Structure. If the first word in the task is an adjective and the second word functions only as a noun, the label is classified as an Action Noun.
   Example: Regional compliance

Rule 2: “Of” as the Second word. If the second word in the task is “of”, the label is automatically classified as Action Noun regardless of the remaining structure.
   Example: Approval of invoice

Rule 3: 3rd word is "and" or "/" and 4th word is “of”. If a task label's 3rd word or symbol is either "and" or "/" and the 4th word is "of", it will return as Action Noun.
  Example: Risk review / of contracts; Risk review and of contracts

Rule 4: Labels Ending with “management”. Any task label that ends with the word “management” is always classified as an Action Noun.
   Example: Access management, Risk Management
