While the Gradebook is designed with Scholar-based assignments and assessments in mind, it is possible to create your own custom columns in the Gradebook. Some of these columns can be created to hold a grade for a singular item not dictated through Scholar. To create a single-item column, navigate to the full Gradebook , hover over one of the items currently in the Gradebook and click the plus icon between two items(the item will be created between the two) . In the resulting dropdown, click Add Item.

• 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.
