New Features
Teacher Defined Fields
Each Teacher now has 10 fields they can define to contain any information they may need to capture and store in their Gradebook. The easiest way to access these fields is to create a new view (or edit your existing view) and use the “Rename” button to define your own fields. Then you can add them to the view. These fields will persist through each Gradebook and data entered for students in 1 Gradebook will follow them to any other Gradebooks that the teacher has.
Improvements
Student Sort Order in Reports
We have changed the way Students in reports sort to match the way they sort in the main grid of the Gradebook.
Auto Save Implemented in several screens
We have improved several screens in the Gradebook Manager to automatically save data as it is changed. Those screens are:
- Semester and Final Averages
- Demographic Fields
- Time Zone Settings
All Marking Periods Setting for "Save as Excel"
When exporting an Excel document, we have added a dialogue box that will ask if you want to export the currently selected Marking Period or All Marking Periods.
Feature Fixes
Missing Students in Skill Analysis Screen
Fixed an issue that would hide Student names in the skills entry screen if they were hidden in the main view.
Improvement to Marking Period Dates and Period Attendance
Period Attendance will now properly display if all Marking Periods don’t have a date assigned to them.
