Dispatch Flags

Job flags in Jobs / Dispatch are used to highlight jobs in the grid, making them easier to spot at a glance and helping ensure important jobs are not missed. Flags can be applied to indicate special handling, priority, unit assignments, or any other internal designation.

Up to three flags can be assigned to a job—Flag 1, Flag 2, and Flag 3. One or more flags may be applied at the same time. Each flag label can also be renamed to match company-specific terminology or workflows.

In the example screenshot below, the flags are used to identify jobs associated with specific units.

Adding or Editing a Job Flag

1. Navigate to Jobs / Dispatch.
2. Double-click the job to which a flag should be added or updated.
3. Locate Flag 1, Flag 2, or Flag 3.
4. From the dropdown list, select the appropriate flag.
5. Click Save & Close.

Renaming Flag Labels

Flag labels can be customized to reflect the meaning they represent within the organization.

1. Open any job in Jobs / Dispatch.
2. Click the blue, underlined Flag 1, Flag 2, or Flag 3 label.
3. Enter the new name for the flag.
4. Save the changes.

Once renamed, the updated flag labels will be available for use across jobs and can be applied consistently to support dispatch visibility and internal processes.

Displaying Flags in the Jobs / Dispatch Grid

Flags can also be displayed directly in the Jobs / Dispatch grid to improve visibility.

To add flags to the grid:

1. Click the Field Chooser cell (located next to the column headers).
2. In the list of available fields, locate Flag 1, Flag 2, or Flag 3.
3. Drag and drop the desired flag field into the grid in the preferred position.
4. You can also add the flag description if needed.

Once added, the grid will display flags using different colors, making it easier to visually distinguish between jobs, units, or other classifications at a glance.
