How do I assign flags to others?

Click the flag icon next to the message.
Assign flags using the following options:
- To quickly assign a For Your Information flag to someone, click the flag next to the person.
- To assign a particular flag to someone, select the type of flag in the drop-down list next to the person.
- To quickly flag everyone, click Flag All (in the Not Flagged section), and select the type of flag you want to assign.
  
  Note: If you use the Flag All option, you might see a confirmation dialog asking you to verify that you really want to flag that many people. Your administrator determines when this dialog is triggered, depending on how many other people would be flagged by the action. If the number is very large, your administrator might choose to suppress notifications for the group; flags will be set, but no one will receive a notification.
- To search for someone, enter part of the person's name in the search box.

Notes:

The person you flag might get an email, depending on what they've set up through their notifications. (Everyone gets an email when a Please Reply - Urgent flag is assigned; that can't be controlled through the Notifications page.)
When you change a flag priority level, the flag shows that it was assigned by you, even if someone else assigned the original flag.

Tip: To ensure flags say “Look at this now!”, use them thoughtfully. A flood of flag notifications all at once or all the time can reduce their impact.

To clear others' flags:

Click the flag icon next to the message.
Clear flags using the following options:
- To quickly remove all flags (whether assigned by you or not), click Clear All (in the Others Flagged section).
- To remove a particular flag, click next to the person.
- To search for someone, enter part of the person's name in the search box.

Note: When you clear a flag, the person who set the flag might get an email, depending on what they've set up through their notifications.
