At times the list of people will have a blue indicator next to some of the names that indicates there are clues about that person. How I set that up I don't know. At times it goes away and I have no idea how to restore it. Can you help. Darrell E Wils

There is no way to set it up. There is an algorithm on the site that helps to find hints for ancestors. It is similar to the hints feature on Ancestry. If there aren't any blue indicators with clues, then the algorithm doesn't have any for your person at that time.

Is this the "Blue" ('Icon') Indicator that you are referring to?

.

.

If it is; then ...

.

You, DO NOT set that up, the "System" (ie. "FamilySearch") adds that against an individual/person when a "Record Hint" is found for that individual/person.

.

The reason that the 'Record Hints', 'go away'; or, disappear, is that the 'Record Hint' (ie. a "Source") has:

.

(1) Been "Added" to/against the individual/person by another User/Patron; or,

.

(2) Been "Dismissed" by another User/Patron as 'Not a Match"; or,

.

(3) Been "Removed" by "System" (ie. "FamilySearch") as more "Details" has been added against the individual/person that counteracts the 'Hint'.

.

Here are some "Knowledge Articles" in "FamilySearch" of the matter of "Record Hints":
