Ability to Filter by Flag (edited)

MrGood

I would like to use the flag feature more often.  However, the lack of a search/filter feature to easily identify flagged transactions keeps me from using flags more often.  Instead, I normally just keep transactions as unreviewed (vs flagging).  Is there a plan to introduce filtering by flags?

Hello @MrGood,

Thank you for posting this suggestion to the Community!

I have gone ahead and turned this into an Idea post so that other Users can vote on it and our Product Team can review it. Please be sure to add your vote as well!

Would also be great to allow Watchlist and/or Reports to include a flag so you can run a report of all of the flagged plans.

Flags are meant for you to keep a list of things you need to look into after  reviewing them.  This does not work well if you cannot see a list of your flags by filtering on them.  I am suing a "Review" tag for this now instead, since you can filter by Tags.  But it would be easier to do this with flags if you could filter by flagged transactions.

Super weird that there would be a column that you can't filter on, period. I view this more as a "bug" than a "missing feature".

Big thumbs up. Flags are very limited if you can't search or filter by them.

I vote this is a very needed feature.

Yes!!! What's the point of the flag if you can't filter to find it?

I just spent 20 mins flagging transactions to follow up later and then realized there’s no way to get a list of them. That’s frustrating.

I just got the Simpifi application, and I love it so far! Just one problem I'm having is being able to filter out the flags. I'd like to easily find the flagged transitions I have. Right now, I'm just making a note of them on a separate word document...

It would be great if you guys would be able to add this feature! 

MrGood

@GStein -- While the Dev team evaluates this feature request, one potential alternative (vs. using the Word document) is to create a tag for each flag color you would use (e.g., RED FLAG).  Tags are filterable, so it's a decent workaround that keeps everything within Simplifi vs. an offline doc.

Add my vote for being able to filter by flag and color.  Just wondering, what was the flag supposed to be for, if you can't filter for them?

I just did this myself. It makes sense to expand the flag functionality as part of a filter or search option.

Are there any updates on this issue?  I agree that having flags with no way to filter or find them is a very needed feature.

Hello @cfields,

Thanks for reaching out!

Sadly, there is no further update to provide on this request as of yet, however, please be sure to continue following along here for future updates.

Without the ability to filter, the flag feature is useless.
the tag work around is fine, but hope this gets corrected.

yes. This.

I agree. I started flagging transactions and then when I went back to follow up on the flags, there is no way to find the transactions that are flagged. Scrolling through and looking for them takes way too much time.

MrGood

It's here y'all! Flag filtering now available on the webapp.

Just saw this had been added, fantastic feature!
