      Red Flags in ActionFlow

      Setting up "Red Flags" allows you to identify actions in your process that may be falling behind or slipping through the cracks. For example, you may consider it a problem if the template date email goes out more than 3 days after it was scheduled. Or you may want to intervene if the slabs haven't been cut 2 days before the install is scheduled.

            

       

      In the video below, we discuss how Red Flags work in ActionFlow and complete a step-by-step exercise to implement 3 key red flags in your shop!

      The Red Flags Setup Guide has a worksheet to follow along with the video or could be used independent of the video to set up red flag alerts.
