What do the flag icons mean?

Every message posted to a Conversation or wall shows a flag icon that tells you instantly whether a flag is assigned on the message. For example:

• If the flag icon is hollow (), then no flag is assigned on the message.

• If the flag icon is not hollow (), then one or more flags are assigned on the message. Flags assigned to you are red, flags assigned to others are blue.

A flag's priority level reflects its urgency. Here's what the priorities mean and how their associated flags look:

• For Your Information (flag with "i")—Look at this when you have time.

• Please Reply (flag with black arrow)—Look at this, and let me know what you think.

• Please Reply - Urgent (flag with red arrow)—Look at this now, and let me know what you think immediately. (An email notification is always sent for Please Reply - Urgent flags.)

To get more information about a flag, you can either mouse over the flag to see a tooltip (for example, "For Your Information flag for another from Name.") or click the flag icon to see all the flag assignments.

Table 8-1 explains what each flag icon means.
