Flag or resolve a question
In SAE, flag a question on an assessment to indicate that it needs attention. After the response is updated, mark the question as resolved or remove the flag.
Before you begin
Flagging is enabled for all roles by default. If the assessment administrator has configured the Question flag roles field on the template category, your user account must have one of the configured roles to change a question's flag state. For more information, see Create an assessment template category.
Role required: none.
About this task
A question's flag has one of three states:
Unflagged
No flag is set on the question. This is the default state for every question.
Flagged
The question is marked as needing attention. The flag icon on the question card is highlighted.
Resolved
The question was previously flagged and has been addressed. The flag icon shows the resolved state.
For more information, see Collaboration in assessments.

What to do next
To focus your review on flagged questions, use the Flagged filter from the filter list. You can combine this filter with other filters, such as Unanswered or With comments, to narrow your view further.
