The following entities are associated with a flag through its key:

• Track event,

• Feature events,

• Feedback.

Access

Each flag in Reflag comes with a set of access targeting rules that are evaluated against the context of the user of your application. Access is evaluated each time the rules change of the context changes. Reflag SDKs transparently deal with evaluation, caching and refreshing of access status of the user of your application.

Flag access can also be used within Reflag itself as a filter consumed by other entities.

Metrics

Flag metrics are a set of values that are calculated for each company that is using the feature. These metrics include Average feedback score, First and Last used dates and others.

Flag metrics are used within the Reflag UI in various places but can also serve as values for filters consumed by other entities.
