Add a Gradebook Column

Add a gradebook column to quickly reference specific information without editing a template. Gradebook columns consist of narratives, exams, averages, semester/final columns, comments, marking period points earned, and category averages. You can also add demographic columns to view information about your students. Adding a column to the gradebook creates a new custom template.

To add a column to a gradebook, do either of the following:

• To add a standard gradebook column, right-click a student's name, click Select GB Column, and click the desired column from the shortcut menu.

  

• To add a demographic column, right-click a student’s name, click Select DB Column, select a field from the Available Fields list, and then click Select.

  

Next Steps

To display your gradebook with these selected gradebook columns at a later time, save this format as a new template. For more information on saving template views, see the topic Save Current Layout as a Template. If for any reason you no longer need a specific gradebook column, just remove it. See Remove a Gradebook Column.
