A Watch Flag is a custom interaction that displays a yellow bar across the top of a person record, indicating an important message about the person.
Examples could include: VIP, a child of a faculty member, a local celebrity, or other high-level data that should be the first thing users know about the person. When added to a record, the watch flag persists above all tabs. Watch flags can also be added to dataset records.
