Managing columns in Blackboard Gradecentre
You can customise the instructor (staff) view of the Gradecentre in a number of ways. It’s important to know that when you make changes it affects the instructor view for all staff in the Blackboard space.
Below you will find guidance on how to hide/show columns and change the order of columns in Gradecentre.
Hiding columns
Hiding a column does not delete it from the Gradecentre. You may find it useful to hide columns in instructor view if you need to focus on fewer columns.
Important: Hiding a column from Instructor View will not hide it from students (see Hiding Marks from Student view).
To hide a column in instructor view follow the steps below:
- Go to Control Panel>Gradecentre>Full Gradecentre
- Locate the relevant column and click on the grey chevron next to the column heading.
- Next choose Hide from Instructor View (to automatically hide the column).
Managing columns
You can use the column organisation window to:
- check which columns are hidden from instructors.
- show / hide a column for instructors.
- change which columns are frozen (which will always appear on the left of your Gradecentre)
- change the order of columns (by dragging and dropping them)
