INTRODUCTION

The Flag module allows you to define a boolean toggle field and attach it to a node, comment, user, or any entity type. You may define as many of these 'flags' as your site requires. By default, flags are per-user. This means any user with the proper permission may chose to flag the entity.

One example use of Flag is to create a "read later" flag for content. Each user may choose to mark the content as "read later". The site builder can create a view that displays all the content the user has chosen to read later.

Other flag examples include:

  • Favorite
  • Mark as spam
  • Friend (for users)
