Hi @DebraMcIntire,
Happy Friday and I'm happy to help answer this question!
In the Instructor's guide 'How do I use the icons and colors in the Gradebook?', information on colors and specifically the flags I believe you're referring to are discussed.
Colors in the gradebook represent represent the status of an assignment.
Those statuses are:
- Blue [1]: Late submission
- Red [2]: Missing submission
- Green [3]: Resubmitted assignment or quiz
- Orange [4]: Dropped grade
- Yellow [5]: Excused assignment
Colored flags next to a student's name is your gradebook is likely a 'Turnitin Icon'. More information on these icons is below.
If you create a Turnitin assignment, the Gradebook displays Turnitin score icons in the Gradebook. To view details of the score, click the icon and view more details in SpeedGrader:
- Gray icon [1]: Similarity Report has not been generated yet
- Color icon [2]: Similarity Report has returned a score; the color is based on the Similarity Report percentage score
- A Clock icon indicates the Similarity Report is still being generated
- An Exclamation icon indicates there was an error when generating the Similarity Report
I hope this helps and please reply back if our teams can help answer additional questions!
Alicia
