# Flag Feature - Old DPO Design

The **Flag Feature** in **DPO** lets you **mark and categorize important purchase orders** using color-coded tags. Use it to track urgent orders, highlight by department, or organize thematically. You can **create custom flags**, **assign them to P.O.s**, and **filter flagged orders** in the View section for quick access.
