How do I flag an item?

What else do I need to know?

  • The preconfigured flags include the following:

    • Today

    • Tomorrow

    • Next Week

    • No Date

  • Right-clicking flag Flag also lets you change or remove a flag and set a date reminder for the flag.

  • To add a flag to an open item, click flag Flag in the toolbar, and then select the flag you want from the menu.

  • In addition to the flag, you can add a reminder by selecting Set Date and Reminder date and reminder from the menu. You can also click Mark Complete, Clear Flag, and Set Default Flag.
