If "Unassign cases that are not locked when this user is deactivated." and the user is marked as deactivated either by schedule or manually then all unlocked cases that are assigned to that radiologist will be unassigned. If the user is manually deactivated then it will prompt if the unlocked cases should be unassigned. This may be useful when a user wants to stop accepting new cases, but wishes to read out the cases they have.
The setting icon on the radiologist panel of the auto assignment tab allows the radiology group to set certain flags to not count for the radiologists assignment count. For example, if the study is pending to be fixed for a problem like poor images it may be flagged red using areporting workflow or standard note. While that problem is being fixed and the study is flagged, that case will not count toward the radiologists workload.
