Add a New Flag

Flags appear on the header of records such as inventory, accounts, and deals throughout IDMS. The flag you see depends on the module it belongs in. For example, you will not see a vehicle being serviced for repair when viewing a past due account, because that type of flag is in inventory. You can add a flag and assign it a module, so it displays in the correct record.

This video provides an overview of flags in IDMS.
