Create a custom view

The Gradebook > Custom View page is your personal gradebook view. It is similar to the Gradebook > Grades pages but typically contains fewer grade columns. You select which student grades you want to see on this page.

To create the custom view, you can copy any column from the Gradebook > Grades page to your Custom View page. The columns you select are also visible to students on their Custom View page. To control which columns appear in the student view, see Control the student gradebook view.

Copy and remove columns

To copy a column to a custom view:

Click Gradebook > Grades.
From the options menu of a column on the Grades page, select Save to Custom View. You can copy up to 5000 columns to the Custom View. You cannot copy course or folder average columns to the Custom View.
Note: If you hide a column from students on the Grades page and then add that column to the Custom View, it becomes visible to students by default.
If you do not want columns that you hid in the gradebook to appear to students in the custom view, you must hide the columns again by selecting Hide for Students from the column options menu.

Tip: Use the scroll bars to view additional student records and gradebook columns. If there are more than 50 students or more than 200 columns, page navigation is available at the bottom of page. Use the page navigation to view additional students or columns or to select a particular page you want to view.

To remove a column from a custom view:

Click Gradebook > Custom View.
From the options menu of a column, select Remove from Custom View.
The column is removed from Custom View, but remains available on the Grades page.

Tip: The Remove from Custom View option is also available on the Grades page from the options menu of any column that is saved to Custom View.

View and edit grades in a custom view

The columns saved to Custom View inherit the same percentage or raw score display format as the Grades page. To adjust the display format on Custom View, you must make the change on the Grades page. Any changes to the Grades page are reflected on the Custom View page.

Use the column options menu to edit grades and view submissions from the Custom View page. Any grades you edit on Custom View also change in all other places where that grade appears, including the Grades page. For details on how to edit grades, see Edit grades in the gradebook.

Notes

In a custom view, you can view students by name, by student ID, or by both. To change how you view, select from options on the drop-down menu.
The view you select here also applies to Export and Download functionality. The Student Name & ID column appears in two columns in the downloaded and exported copies.
If you select Student Name & ID, an options menu is available for the student name but not for the student ID.
