Flags are raised when an input matches either a given value or result of a formula.
FlagX Value
This is a discrete value (for example, “Yes” for a checklist item). If an entered value matches the configured value, the software raises a flag. Each flag value is numbered, so that the first flag value is in the form Flag1 Value, and each subsequent flag value, increments by 1. Multiple values may be assigned to a task.
FlagX Formula
Flag X Formula is a normal expression that will raise a flag when it evaluates to true. Each flag formula is numbered, so that the first flag formula is in the form Flag1 Formula , and each subsequent flag formula , increments by 1. Multiple values may be assigned to a task.
The following entries can be used in conjunction with either FlagX Value or FlagX Formula.
FlagX Message
These messages are displayed when the j5 software raises a flag. When no message has been configured, the flagged task displays the FlagX Value or FlagX Formula result below the input box. When a message is configured, the values and the message are displayed. The message can be standard text or determined by a formula.
FlagX Category
Flags can be categorized for reporting and analysis purposes. Categories are created and maintained via the j5 Web Client. For more details refer to Flag Categories.
FlagX Priority.
Flags can be ordered by priority when importing into an IndustraForm or exporting for use in BI tools. Priorities are created and maintained via the j5 Web Client. For more details refer to Flag Priorities.
FlagX Hidden
Set the flag to be hidden. The flag isn’t displayed on the IndustraForm when it is triggered, but it is still logged to the flag history table.
