Flags

Flags are per-user pieces of information that can be added to Person Objects, Content Objects, and Group Objects.

Flags establish links between people, and between people and pieces of content. Favorites, watch lists, and friends are all implementations of flags that are provided by PeoplePods, but you can create your own custom flags too!

Flags might be used to create new relationships between users, such as additional friend lists or block lists.

Flags can also be used to create new relationships to content, such as adding a rating, or reporting something as "offensive."

To learn about adding and querying flags, see $Obj-addFlag(), $Obj-removeFlag(), $Obj-hasFlag(), and $Obj->toggleFlag().

If you want to add a value to a person or piece of content that will be the same for every user, use meta fields.
