For each control in the database, there is a set of 5 status flags that you can use to keep track of markings in the forest or for other relevant status purposes.   The use of these flags is an optional feature that you can use or skip as you find most useful.

You can freely name each of these flags.  This is done in the Control dialog on the tab Texts, Score-O, and Status.

The first 3 flags are pre-defined as:

• Site flagged
• Marker placed
• Marker collected

At any time you can set or clear each of these flags.  

So, as you flag each control site in the forest with a streamer or a marking tag, you can set the corresponding flag in Condes to keep track of which sites are flagged.  Likewise, the  other flags can be used to keep track of when the control flag has been placed, and when it has been collected.

You can set a flag by using the appropriate check box on the "Texts, Score-O, and Status" tab of the control dialog.  Alternatively, you can select the control in the Course Layout Editor, and use the right click menu "Control site status" to inspect or set the flags.

The "Controls Spreadsheet" report has a column for each flag, where an "X" indicates that the flag is set for a control.
