In this article:
Navigate and understand the gradebook layout
To begin:
The ‘Assessment gradebook’ displays all assessments created for the class in a clear, tabular format. Each column represents an assessment (such as a formative assessment, homework, or unit test), and each row represents a student in your class.
Within each column, you can view:
Student roster: The first column lists all active students. Archived students are hidden by default but can be included using filters.
Assignment columns: Each column in the gradebook represents a task or assessment you’ve created. Within these columns, you can view:
Calculated grades: These summary columns display totals, such as the Overall score. The information displayed here will depend on your school’s grading setup.
Customize your gradebook view
You can tailor your gradebook to display the information most relevant to you. Use the options at the top of your gradebook to filter and adjust your view.
Grading period selector
Switch between grading periods to view relevant assessments. By default, the gradebook opens to the current period.
Note: This is the most important filter, as it determines which assignments and calculated grades are visible.
Subjects filter
This filter will only appear if your school has a subject-based setup.
Use the subjects filter to view assessment data for a specific subject. The gradebook always opens to the first subject in your list (for example, ‘English’). You can select a different subject from the dropdown to view only its tasks and calculated grades.
Note: The subjects filter will only appear if a course is tagged with multiple subjects, and only the subjects tagged to that course will be shown in the dropdown.
Filters menu
Click the funnel icon to open advanced filtering options. You can filter your view based on assignment types, assessment tools, grading categories, and students.
Note: The availability of this filter depends on your other selections. It will only appear if the selected grading period has categories defined by your administrator, and it is not available if you have selected a cumulative grading period.
Display options
In addition to filters, you can tailor your gradebook layout using display options:
1 - Configure gradebook views
Click the three-dot menu → 'Configure gradebook views'. This opens a settings panel with the tab: 'Configure columns'
Configure columns
Control which columns are visible and their order:
2 - Display settings
Customize how the gradebook is presented:
The following two settings are shared across all gradebook views: Assessment, Standards, and Learning goals. Changing either setting in one view automatically applies it across all views.
The remaining options are organized under two tabs: Assessments and Standards, and apply to those views, respectively:
Assessments tab
Standards tab
The Standards tab contains display options specific to the Standards gradebook. Refer to the for full details.
Tip: Filters and display settings are retained when you navigate away and return to the gradebook. They also carry over across all your classes.
View and interpret grades
The ‘Assessment gradebook’ automatically calculates scores and grades based on the grading configuration defined by your school.
To view your grading configuration:
Go to ‘Settings’ in the bottom-left corner of your class page.
In both setups, you should check the ‘Grading configurations’ tab, where you can review:
Note: You can edit grading configurations only if you have the ‘Course editor’ role. To learn more about how the grading setup works, refer to our .
Interpret grades for a reporting period
Use the gradebook to analyze student performance across individual assessments, grading categories, and overall reporting periods. You can access detailed score breakdowns and historical insights all within a few clicks.
1. View evaluations for a specific assessment
Click on any cell in the gradebook to open a panel on the right. Here, you can:
This view allows you to quickly confirm how the student was evaluated for a specific assignment.
2. View breakdown for category or term-level scores
Click on a calculated grade, such as a Score for an assessment category or Overall score for the reporting period, to open a detailed breakdown panel.
You will see:
Note: Overall scores for grading periods and categories are calculated only if the corresponding setting has been enabled in the grading setup by the admin.
3. Understand how grade conversions are applied
Overall scores for the subject/course can be converted into one or more grades as per the grade scales defined by your school administrator. These could be alpha or numeric grade scales. You can open the right pane to view the grade scale.
To see which grade scales have been applied for the grading period and how they convert scores into final grades, go to the ‘Settings’ → ‘Subject settings’/’Course settings’.
Interpret grades for a cumulative grading period
You can switch to a cumulative grading period to review student progress across multiple terms or exams. This view provides a consolidated summary of overall growth and performance.
You can review the grade scales applied for the cumulative grading period, including how scores convert into grades, by going to the ‘Settings’ → ‘Subject settings’/’Course settings’.
This view is especially useful for end-of-semester reviews, generating report cards, and supporting student-led conferences.
Evaluate assignments and share grades with students and family
The Gradebook allows you to evaluate student work and manage how grades are shared with students and families.
There are two ways to do this:
1. From the assignment popover – Click the assignment name in the Gradebook header to open a quick-access pop-up for grading and evaluation actions.
2. From the three-dot menu – Click the three-dot icon next to the assignment name to access options for evaluation and assignment management.
Note: Only teachers with Gradebook edit permissions can perform these actions. Options appear disabled with a tooltip if your access is view-only.
Evaluate student work
You can record grades in the assessment gradebook in different ways: apply them in bulk, navigate quickly across cells, or open detailed panels for deeper evaluations.
1. Open the ‘All submissions’ page
Open the ‘All submissions’ page directly from the assignment popover.
From here, you can open attachments, provide annotations, and complete evaluations. Once saved, the results automatically reflect in the Gradebook.
2. Quick grading options
For times when you need to enter the same grade for all students or edit grades quickly without viewing the full submission, click the three-dot menu next to the assessment tool.
2.1 Assign the same grade to all students
2.2 Open quick evaluation
3. Keyboard navigation for grading
Keyboard shortcuts let you move through the gradebook and apply ratings quickly. The shortcuts vary depending on the tool type:
Use dropdowns to enter scale-based scores like A+, B, or F
4. Right panel for detailed grading
You can also view, edit, or add grades at the individual student level:
5. Override calculated scores and grades
You can adjust a student’s score or grade directly in the gradebook if a manual correction or special consideration is needed.
To override a calculated score or grade:
Once updated, the overridden score or grade will appear in the gradebook and be marked to indicate it has been manually changed.
Note: Only users with the appropriate permissions can override scores or grades. All overrides are tracked and can be reverted if necessary.
Share evaluations
After grading, you can decide how and when results contribute to overall scores and when they are visible to students and families. Your grading progress is always saved automatically, but you retain full control over when the final evaluation is confirmed and when it becomes visible to students and families.
You can manage evaluation statuses in two ways:
1. From the assignment popover
Use the assignment popover to update or modify results:
Note: These changes are applied immediately for the selected student(s) and do not affect others.
2. From the three-dot menu
Use the three-dot menu next to the assignment’s name to make changes to the evaluation status for the entire class.
Status types and available actions
1. Evaluation pending (default status)
2. Evaluation not shared yet
