Creating a Category

When you create a gradable item, it automatically appears in the Gradebook and is associated with the appropriate category. There are pre-existing categories, but you also have the option to create a new category.

To create a category:

1. In the top right corner of the Gradebook, select the Settings icon. The Gradebook Settings panel will open on the right.
   
2. In the Gradebook Settings panel, under Grade Category, select Add New Category and type a name. 
   

Assigning a category

Once you have created a category, you can assign assessments to the new category you have just created.

1. In the Gradebook, locate the assessment to which you want to assign the category.
2. On the assessment page, select the Settings icon. The assignment setting panel will open on the right.
   
3. In the assignment setting panel, under Grade Category, select the drop-down arrow and select the desired category.
