For example, if Care Management displayed patient record flags for CMPatient, Five when you clicked his name, it wouldn't display his patient record flags again when you subsequently clicked on one of his headlights (provided you hadn't closed and reopened Care Management in the interim). However, if for the first time in the same session you selected CMPatient, Five in a Query Tool report, Care Management would again display his patient record flags.
