Using Filtering Options to Highlight Items in the Gradebook

SAU #19 teachers in Grades 7-12 can now filter to find specific items within the Schoology Gradebook. This will help them easily locate assignments that may need grading or attention. To use these filters, please follow these directions:

1. Go into the Schoology Gradebook for one of your Courses or Sections.

2. Click on the View drop-down menu and then select the field or fields you want to highlight. 

   


Select Show Full Titles to see the entire title name without having to hover over it.

3. All assignments that apply to the selected fields will be highlighted with a blue box around them so you can quickly scan and locate the assignments desired.

If no assignments meet the criteria selected, then you will not see anything highlighted.

4. By clicking on the All Materials tab and selecting a Category from the drop-down menu, you can minimize the number of assignments you see in the Schoology Gradebook to resources within a specific Category.
    

5. By clicking the 3 dots next to an assignment title and selecting Set All Grades, you can set all grades to a specific number of points at one time and then change the few students that may have received a different score. Enter the number of points to set all student scores to and then click Confirm. Click on the grade of any student that you need to adjust and then enter the new grade. Changes will automatically save. 
      

6. By clicking the 3 dots next to an assignment title and select an option to Mark Empty Cells..., and it will automatically fill that exception flag in for all empty cells for that assignment. At progress report and report card time, it will be important to mark empty cells as Missing if you want student scores to have a zero for any assignment they are missing, because empty cells do not negatively impact student grades.
