Copying Categories and Assignments

To save time when setting up and maintaining classes using similar categories and assignments, you can copy categories and assignments. With Copy Class Setup, you can select specific categories and assignments to copy, copy from previous academic years, and copy to multiple marking columns and classes in an academic year. You can copy assignments and categories separately and use it during initial setup or as new assignments are added. Duplicate categories and assignments are not copied.

 

Date fields copy if you copy assignments from and to the same marking column, even in different academic years. Always review and edit assignment dates after copying.

  2. On the navigation bar, click Gradebook. The gradebook opens to the Grades tab.
