The Categories and Marks filter displays in GB Entry mode and lets you choose which assignments will display in the scores grid. You can display any or all categories or a mark type. Items in the drop-down are listed in the following sequence: categories used for the class, IPR marks for IPR dates for the marking period, and report card marks for which averages are calculated based on assignment scores.

The Competencies and Marks filters display in SBGB Detail mode and let you select which assignments are displayed.

Select the competency in the upper filter and mark type from the lower filter.

The Assignment Header displays assignments selected by the Categories and Marks filter (in GB Entry mode) or by the Competencies and Marks filters (in the SBGB Detail mode). Three rows display in the top section of each assignment's header: the assignment's title, its due date, and its maximum point value. This top section displays in a distinct category color to help you identify the category for the assignment. Move the pointer over an assignment to display a tooltip with the assignment's details. Click the top section in the assignment's header to edit the assignment in the Assignment Details drawer.

Note: In SBGB Detail mode, the point value displayed reflects the maximum points the student can earn for the selected competency. Thus, if the assignment is graded with a rubric, then the point value displayed may be less than the point value of the assignment. You can use the GB Entry mode to display the assignment’s total point value.

Assignments display in either ascending or descending date order. To change their display order, use the Gradebook section of the Settings page.

Three boxes display in the bottom section of an assignment's header. One of two score entry options displays in the leftmost box:

	Click to open the Assignment Detail page for this assignment to quickly enter scores, comment codes and free-text comments for each student. This option only displays for assignments not graded by a rubric.
	Click to open the Rubric Score Entry page for this assignment. This option only displays for assignments graded by a rubric.

The middle box displays the Publish tool and lets you set the publish status for the assignment. An assignment's publish status determines if the assignment and its scores can be viewed in HAC. Click the icon to change the assignment's publish status.

Icon	Publish Status	Description
	not published	Assignment cannot be viewed in HAC.
	assignment published	Assignment can be viewed in HAC, but no scores can be viewed.
	scores published	Both the assignment and its score are visible in HAC.

Publish Tool Notes:

• If your administrator configured the Publish tool to auto publish, the tool changes to (scores published) as soon as an assignment's first score is saved. This applies to both scores entered individually and when using the assignment header's (Mass Update Scores) tool.
• If you set the TAC Settings page's Auto Saving feature is set to "Auto save scores upon entry," assignment scores are automatically saved after a score is entered. If Auto Saving is set to Manual save, scores are saved only after the page is saved. This applies to both scores entered individually and when using the assignment header's (Mass Update Scores) tool.

The third box in the assignment's header displays only if the assignment is not scored by a rubric. Click to display a menu that lets you update scores for multiple students. It has the following options:

Update Scores - Enter a value in the Update Scores with field to assign the value to all students without scores. You can also select to override existing scores with the entered value.

Clear All Scores - Click Apply to clear all scores for this assignment.

Import Assessment - If your district has license key for PerfomancePLUS integration, this option lets you import scores from PerformancePLUS.

Import Scores from File - This option lets you import scores from a CSV or text file. Select the input file, select the file type, input the location information for the Student ID and Score locations, check if you want existing scores overridden, and check if the file has a header row.

The Student Information columns display student names and student-specific information. The leftmost column on the Gradebook page is the scores grid row number which always displays. The students' names and several other columns display by default. You can choose to display or hide any of the available student information columns. Refer to Showing and Hiding Columns for more details.

The available columns are: Alerts, Notes, Grade, Average (or current accumulator type if in SBGB Detail mode), Student ID, Course (course number), and Performance. The Performance option displays a column of sparkline charts for each student. These provide a quick indicator of a student's score trends. Refer to Displaying Student Performance Trends for more details.

By default, students display alphabetically. You can sort the class by any displayed column: click the value in the column's header to sort by that column. Subsequent clicks will toggle the direction of the sort.

The Student Scores header row displays the current average of the scores for each assignment. To sort the class by an individual assignment's scores, click on the assignment's average. Click again to reverse the sort order.

Student scores are displayed and entered in the cells of this grid. A blue vertical bar separates assignments through today's date from assignments due in the future.

A variety of options optimize both entry speed and accuracy. For example, you can enter scores directly or select valid alpha marks from a pop-up. Invalid marks and unsaved scores are clearly identified, and comments can be attached to individual score cells. You can double-click a cell to view valid alpha marks. Alpha marks can be used to exclude an assignment from a student's average or to give the student a percentage score.

You can also add/view/edit comments for a student's score, change the student's grading scale, view a student's attendance details for the assignment due date, or view the change history of scores entered in this cell by clicking inside the cell and then right-clicking to display a menu. The menu allows you to select pop-ups to enter comments, edit the grading scale for the student, view the student's attendance details for the assignment due date, or view the change history of scores entered for the cell.

Note: On systems that do not provide right-click capability, you can use the Actions/Reports drop-down menu to select Enter Comment, Edit Grading Scale, View Attendance, or View History while a cell is selected.

	A black triangle in the top-left corner of the score field indicates that the score is not saved. If Auto Saving is not enabled, you must click to enter scores in the database.
	A red triangle in the top-left corner of a score cell indicates that the current entry is an invalid mark; all invalid marks must be resolved before the gradebook will save scores.
	Cells with cross-hatched shading do not permit score entry. Scores cannot be entered to an assignment's cells when: The assignment is associated with a rubric, the student was not enrolled in the class on the assignment's due date, or multiple classes are being displayed, and the assignment did not apply to this student.

For more information on entering scores and comments, refer to Entering Gradebook Scores, Entering Rubric Scores, and Entering Gradebook Comments for Scores.
