Flags provide an additional means of searching for catalog items other than by their names. By assigning one or more flags to multiple symbols, you can search for symbols in different folders that have identical flags.
-
You can only add a specific flag once per symbol; however, because flags are case-sensitive, you can add the same string more than once to a symbol if the cases are not identical, for example: AAA, AAa, aaa.
-
Searches are case-insensitive, therefore typing the string 'aaa' in the Search box will show symbols that have any of the flags: AAA, AAa, or aaa.
-
There is no limit to the number of flags you can assign to a symbol; however, when searching using flags, you can only type all or part of the string for a single flag per search.
-
In the tree view, navigate to the folder containing the catalog item you want to work with.
-
In the icon / list view, select the tile or row of the required catalog item.
-
In the tile or the leftmost column, select Flags
.
The icon changes to
and the Flags dialog opens.
You can also select the
icon for an item that already has one or more flags where you want to assign additional
flags.
-
In the text box where the label 'Add a Flag' appears, type the flags you want to assign to the item, separated by commas.
-
Select Add.
