Property Profile Flags are a feature in GovPilot that allow users to add warnings or restrictions to a property. These flags act as safeguards—alerting users to critical issues like unpaid violations, tax liens, or department-specific holds before creating a new record (like a permit or inspection) for that property.
If a property has a flag, the reason will display any time someone attempts to create a new record for that address or opens that Property Profile. This ensures all users are immediately informed of any restrictions that could impact the next steps.
How to add a flag to a property:
-
Navigate to the Property Profile for the relevant address.
-
Click the flag icon.
-
Click + Add Reason.
-
Select a reason from the dropdown list (configured by your system administrator).
-
(Optional) Add a note with additional context.
-
Click Save.
You can add multiple flags to a single property. All activity—including flags added or removed—is tracked in the Flagged Log tab for auditing and review.
Where to view all flagged properties:
In the left-hand navigation menu, there's a new section under Favorites called Flags. This view displays all flagged properties in one place and allows you to:
-
Open each Property Profile.
-
View and manage existing flags.
-
Export the list to Excel.
