A red flag is a way to escalate a critical horse-welfare observation. When staff record a horse note (for example an abnormal temperature reading) and mark it as a red flag, Prism automatically raises an in-app notification and emails the recipients you have configured – typically the trainer responsible for that horse. This means an important reading is never missed, even when the trainer is not logged in.
The feature has three parts, covered in order below:
Note. Recipients must be added first (Part 2). If no email addresses are configured, a red flag will still be recorded in Prism, but no email will go out.
Choose who should be emailed whenever a red flag is raised on any horse in your care. You only need to do this once (and update it when your team changes).
Note. To remove a recipient later, reopen Red Flag Config and click the × on their email tag, then save again.
Red flags are raised from a horse’s Note records – for example when logging a temperature that is outside the safe range.
As soon as a red-flagged note is saved, Prism does three things:
An alert appears under the notification bell, for example: “<Horse>’s temperature of 36.0°C (AM) has been recorded as a red flag.”
Everyone added in Part 2 receives an email from Prism System. For a temperature red flag the subject is “Red flag temperature recorded for <Horse>” and the body reads “Please be informed that a red flag temperature of 36.0°C (AM) has been recorded for <Horse>.”
