Flag a job that is blocked

Raise a flag on a job to say why it's stuck, without changing its status. Set up the flags your business uses in Settings.

A flag explains why a job is stuck, for example "Awaiting materials" or "Rained off", without moving it out of its current status. Only the owner, admins, dispatchers, office staff and site supervisors can raise, change or clear a flag. A flagged job shows its flag on the board and the list, and counts towards each day's flagged total on the schedule.

Raise a flag

  1. Open the job.
  2. Select Raise a flag.
  3. Pick a Flag.
  4. Add a Note if you want to say more, for example "waiting on Reece delivery Tue".
  5. Select Set flag.

The flag, its note, and who raised it and when are shown on the job.

Change or clear a flag

  • Select Change on the flag banner to pick a different flag or edit the note, then Update flag.
  • Select Clear to remove the flag from the job.

Set up your flags

Only the owner and admins can manage the list of flags a business uses, at Settings → Job flags.

  1. Open Settings → Job flags.
  2. Enter a Label, an optional Icon (an emoji), and pick a Colour.
  3. Select Add flag.

To change an existing flag, select Edit on it, make your changes, and select Save changes. To retire a flag without losing it from jobs that already carry it, select Archive: it no longer appears when raising a new flag, but stays on any job that already has it. Select Restore on an archived flag to bring it back.
