Flags seems like an odd word to use for this, I thought it was to do with personal safety or rating people.

Well, english is not my mother tongue...I thought it was ok to use this name, but it seems not then. How would you have called it?
Usually a check mark to indicate completion or something has been verified and a checklist is a list of items to remember. You might ‘flag’ something to draw attention to it and usually in a negative sense like there is some problem or rule has been broken.
Ok, thanks for the explanation. Should have called it 'Checky' then...
