How do I categorize Grade Center items?

Categories are necessary if you are using weighted grading schema or smart views, among other features. Grade Center columns are categorized by the type of item they are associated with. For example, if you create a Blackboard Assignment, the associated Grade Center column will, by default, be added to the Assignments category. However, if you manually create a column, it will need to be added to an appropriate category.

• To add a Grade Center column to a category:
  1. Click Control Panel > Grade Center > Full Grade Center.
  2. Click the Manage button and select Column Organization.
  3. From the Column Organization page, check the boxes of those columns you want to add to a particular category.
  4. Click Change Category To... and select the category (in this example, we've selected test).
     • NOTE: You can create your own categories.
  5. Click Submit.
