Audience: MSP staff with Client Health read access and Client Health Write permission. Company users do not manage these flags. A manual flag records your team’s relationship assessment when it differs from the calculated risk. It changes the effective risk label, not the numerical health score, dimension scores or deployed standards.

Add or edit a flag

  1. Open the company from MSP Tools > Client Health.
  2. Select Flag Risk on the Risk Level card, or Edit Flag for an existing override.
  3. Choose Critical, At Risk, Healthy or Thriving. The dialog shows the calculated comparison when one is available.
  4. Enter a Reason explaining the decision. This field is optional, limited to 1,000 characters, and trimmed when saved. Recording a useful reason helps later reviewers.
  5. Choose Save Flag and wait for the result. Use Cancel before saving to discard dialog edits.
  6. Check the Manual label and effective risk after the page refreshes. Review the portfolio table as well.
Opening the dialog or selecting a different option does not save the flag. A company with limited evidence can receive a manual risk label while its calculated score stays unavailable.

Choose a risk level in the unsaved dialog. Save Flag applies the change; Cancel dismisses it.

Review the reason

Use Edit Flag, the dashboard’s optional Flag Reason column, or the risk tooltip where a numeric score is available. The override changes the risk used in the dashboard, so it can move the company into a different risk-filtered list. The detail interface does not expose a complete flag-event audit history. Removing a flag does not erase its stored audit trail.

Remove the override

  1. Open Edit Flag for the company.
  2. Select Remove Flag. This acts immediately; there is no second confirmation.
  3. Wait for success and verify the Manual indicator disappears. The calculated risk takes over; if no calculated risk exists, the result can be N/A.
Cancel dismisses edits before saving. It is not an undo after Save Flag or Remove Flag has completed. If an action fails, reopen the company and check its current state before retrying. If Flag Risk or Edit Flag is absent, ask the MSP administrator to check Client Health Write permission. Changing a flag does not refresh source data or repair a low dimension score; follow Refresh Client Health when a new scorecard is needed.
