Map Interaction to Select Flag Data  

When accessing the "Dropped Flags" menu in the Data Portal you should see a menu option under the flag filter menu on the top left for "View Flag on Click".  By default this is enabled (green showing turned on)  .  What this means is that when you are viewing the flags on the top map view if you click on them you will see the flag details.

If you disable this or turn this "View Flag on Click" off (grey showing disabled)  when you click on a flag in the map view it will then start to select the flags in the data view.  When you're done highlighting the flags of interest you will see these are now pre-selected for you in the rows below to export.
