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. In the resulting dropdown, click Add Item. 

Add Item

A sidebar will open that allows you to dictate the title of the column, as well as provide the settings for that column. 

New Column Settings

Underneath the description, you will be provided with a series of dropdowns: 

  • 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.
  • 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 recommended that the default display be kept in most scenarios. 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. 

When you are finished completing the column, click Save. The item will then be added to your Gradebook.
