    Hi Fabrizio Capello

    Shortly. flags are similar to milestones in that they are also zero duration activities and they flag either the start or completion of an activity or group of activities.

    Flags however can only have a predecessor, but no successor activities and thus have no impact on your schedule. Flags do not need to be updated but are automatically completed when their predecessors are completed.

    A flag is purely a flag, indicating the start or completion of an event, or group of events.

    Hope this helps.

    Hi Abdulhaviz

    Welcome to Planning Planet.

    A few hints onthe forum etiquette.

    1. Do not wake up a long dead thread.

    2. Do not add an answer to a thread that has already been adequately covered.

    Best regards
