Flags and alert notifications

How flags work, what triggers them, and how to configure who gets notified.

Flags are markers added to a check-in to indicate that something needs attention. They surface important signals — attendance patterns, attitude concerns, performance issues — so that the right people see them quickly.

Common flag reasons

  • Attendance — repeated lateness or no-shows discussed in the check-in.
  • Attitude — interpersonal issues or culture concerns raised.
  • Performance — the staff member is not meeting the expectations of their role.
  • Positive — exceptional performance worth recognizing at a higher level.
  • Safety — a safety concern was noted during the conversation.
  • Personal — a personal situation affecting work that may require support.

Who sees flagged check-ins

Flagged check-ins appear in the dashboard for owners and managers configured to receive that flag type. You can control exactly which flag reasons notify whom — go to Settings then Alert Settings.

Configuring alert settings

As an owner, navigate to your location's alert settings to set up which flag reasons trigger notifications and to whom. For example, you might want all Safety flags to notify the owner immediately, while Attendance flags go to the manager only.

Urgency levels

Each flag reason can be assigned an urgency level — Low, Medium, or High. High-urgency flags are highlighted in red on the dashboard. This helps prioritize which situations need attention first.
