Each node in ecFlow may have a set of flags set. Most of them are just informative flags, but some may control the running of the node.
Most of the flags are cleared when the suite is begun. And some flags have other information associated with them, such as message which raises a flag. Table 9 1 Flags used by ecFlow shows the flags used by ECF.
