Introduction
Users can add Red Flag Issues to Entities in GEMS to visually indicate important information. Entities with Red Flag Issues will have a red flag icon next to their names when they appear in search results, and their Snapshots and Basics Screens will display a red flag icon and text above their data.
Adding a Red Flag Issue
To add a Red Flag Issue to an Entity, do the following:
From the Snapshot of the Entity to which the Red Flag Issue is to be added, navigate to the Basics screen by clicking View More Details > Basics.
Click the dropdown menu labeled “Archive,” then select “Red Flag Issue.”
Click Go.
Within the pop-up window that appears, click the Lookup List icon next to the “Red Flag Issue” field.
On the Lookup List, browse to the Red Flag Issue to be assigned to this Entity and click the name of the Red Flag Issue to select it.
If the desired Red Flag Issue is not present, add a new Red Flag Issue to the Lookup List by clicking New Red Flag Issue in the top right.
Add a description for the new Red Flag Issue in the “Red Flag Issue” field, then select which Entities it will be available for in the “Entity Type” field.
To use the new Red Flag Issue immediately, keep the “Use It Now” checkbox checked, then click Save. The Red Flag Issue will be selected and will now be present in the Lookup List when adding a Red Flag Issue in the future.
On the original Red Flag Issue screen, verify that the correct Red Flag Issue has been added to the “Red Flag Issue” field and that the “Create Red Flag” checkbox is enabled.
Click Save.
Removing a Red Flag Issue from an Entity
To remove a Red Flag Issue from an Entity, follow these steps:
From the Basics screen of an Entity with a Red Flag Issue present, click the dropdown labeled “Archive” and then select “Red Flag Issue.”
Click Go.
In the pop-up window that appears, disable the “Create Red Flag” checkbox, then click Save.
