Using Attention Flags

Attention flags allow you to place a temporary reminder or comment on a contract item or DWR item (much as you would use a sticky note on a paper document).

When you select All Attention Flags from the Actions menu on the Contract Items component, the system takes you to the Attention Flag Overview component where you can view and maintain all the attention flags that have been recorded for the contract.

The overview includes two tabs, one for Contract Items and one for DWR Items. The component opens on the Contract Items tab.

To delete or make changes to an attention flag for a contract item, first locate the flag by typing criteria in the Quick Find search box or by clicking Show first 10. The system displays a list of contract item attention flags that match your search criteria. Each row contains an Actions button and current values for the following fields:

The only information you can change in an attention flag record is the text in the Comments field. To change the comment for an attention flag, click in the Comment field and add or delete information as needed.

When the issue for which an attention flag was created has been resolved, delete the attention flag record by selecting Delete from the Actions menu on the flag row. To reverse the delete action, click the Undo button.

When you are finished, click the Save button. The system displays a message to confirm that your changes were saved in the database.

To maintain additional information for attention flags, click the following tab:

DWR Items
