Each patient's flags will be visible under the "Flags" column on the worklist. If you would like to assign a patient a flag, click the "Pencil" icon to add the patient's first flag, or select the colorful flags already populated for the patient.

Once the patient's correct flags are chosen click the "Save" button.
