Status Flags have many uses and can now be  protected with a special user role, so that only certain users can see them. All Status Flags start as searches that are saved using a special naming convention, and these searches are automatically run every morning at 4:30 to find everyone who fits that search.

A brief description of where you find Status Flags:

Now, that we have briefly touched on Status Flags - what they are and where you find them, I want to tell you about another feature of Status Flags.

You can protect any Status Flag with a user role that is tied directly to that specific Status Flag . This ensures that only users with that role will be able to see that a person has that Status Flag. If you want to protect more than one Status Flag, you would create multiple roles - one role for each protected Status Flag.

Examples:

You may want to identify those who are donors to your church, but you would, of course, not want everyone seeing that flag.

Or, you may want to create a search for those formerly active members of your church whose attendance is dropping. You would not want every user to see that either.
