Abstract
A signal device including a plurality of visually different flags in a mounting frame is secured to the top of a cubicle wall forming a part of a workstation, so that the status of the workstation user can be visually determined. The flags are normally in a generally horizontal position in the mounting frame, and may be in a recess in the top of the cubicle wall. A flag corresponding to the desired message is raised from the mounting frame, so that the flag is visible above the top of the cubicle wall.
