Email Notification - When enabled, an email will be sent to the company email address every time a lesson is flagged.

The "Complete Lesson" form will now include a checkbox to flag a lesson. When the checkbox is selected, a textbox will expand and teachers can leave a comment about why they are flagging the lesson.
Viewing Flagged Lessons
Notifications
If you have enabled the "Email Notifications" setting, an email will be sent to the company email address each time a lesson is flagged and you can view the details in the notification email.
Dashboard Widget
You can add the “Flagged Lessons” widget to your dashboard to quickly see flagged lessons as soon as you login to Teachworks by following the steps below:
Click on "Account & Settings" and then click on "Dashboard Settings".
Click on the "Enable" link under the Flagged Lessons widget.
The widget allows you to confirm and hide the flag or go to the lesson to view more details. Once you’ve viewed and confirmed a flag, a timestamp will be saved for your records.
