What is highlighting an entry in the ACL or DL used for?

Highlighting an entry in the Access Control List (ACL) or Decision List (DL) serves the purpose of signifying the need for action or special attention. This is crucial in a radar operating environment where timely responses to specific alerts or entries can impact safety and operational efficiency. By highlighting certain entries, personnel can quickly identify which items require immediate review or intervention, facilitating better decision-making and prioritization of tasks.

Highlighting acts as a visual cue, drawing attention to items that might otherwise be overlooked in a long list of entries. This is particularly important in high-stakes settings, such as radar operations, where the ability to promptly respond to specific conditions can be critical.
