Shaded Grade Book Field when Faculty-Entered Comments are Present

The red triangle flag can mean many different things in the grade book, and teachers would like a way to know if they have entered comments for a specific grade on a student. Since the red triangle flag can appear for attendance issues, they would like to see the entire table cell for grades with a teacher-entred comment to become shaded.

This is partially an idea for similar visual notification as FAWeb, but it also makes sense that if a faculty member did something to make a flag appear, that the notification would be represented with something different than the system-generated notification flag. Ideally, it would shade the field green (or another color, not red); so that a grade book entry with both a teacher-entered comment AND a system-generated comment (like AD - Absent) would appear as a green shaded field with a red triangle.

    It would also be helpful for individual teachers to be able to choose whether this information is displayed in their grade books. Teachers do not always need to know every time a student was not at school when as assignment was Assigned or Due.

    My thoughts exactly.
