The Flags Manager can be accessed from the icon menu bar by clicking the “Flag” button. From the Flags Manager you can create Red or Orange Flags to track the availability of a specific element (often cast, but not always.)
Red Flags
Red Flags are used to represent a Cast member or element being unavailable.
Simply add a red flag by hitting the (+) button when you hover over a blank day, or by right-clicking on a day if there are already events on it. You can add a note from the “Add Flag” modal as well.
These red flags will appear in the stripboard and the Day out of Days if an element that is unavailable is scheduled for that day. A tool tip will also display any notes added.
Orange Flags
Orange Flags are used as reminders for the AD as you schedule your work.
For Example, if a Cast Member has a hard out, you can add an Orange Flag with the note, “Hard out at 5PM for movie premiere."
These orange flags will appear in the stripboard if an element with an orange flag is scheduled for that day. A tool tip will display to list your note / reminder.
This orange flag will NOT appear in printed reports.
