- The first dropdown dictates the visibility of the column.
- The Due Date fields allow you to set a due date for the item being graded in that column. This is a required field in Ultra Courses, where it was not in the original Gradebook.
- The Grade Using column dictates the format in which the grade in the column will be displayed. The default display is a raw score in points, but includes other formats such as percentages; however, it is generally recommended that the default display be kept in most scenariosinstructors avoid entering grades as letter grades. You will also be required to fill in a Maximum Points field with the number of points the item is worth.
- The Category dropdown can be used to sort this column into a group of columns based on categories. Grades made via the Tests and Assignments tools are automatically sorted into the Tests and Assignments categories respectively; however, custom columns must have their category set manually. Categories are useful when creating a Weighted Total Calculated Column later on.
- The last field allows you to add a description of what the column is used to grade.
