You can create rules to apply color to the cells in the Grade Center. Creating color rules in the Grade Center provides visual indicators to help you interpret information quickly. For example, you can use yellow to highlight graded items with failing scores so students and columns that require attention are prominent. Also, you can assign colors to the following grading statuses: In Progress, Needs Grading, or Exempt.<\/p>\n

\n\"Grade<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/p>\n

By default, color coding is not<\/strong> enabled in the Grade Center, and to use color coding you need to enable it. After you define and save the color rules, the color coding applies to all Grade Center views<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Follow these steps to do it.<\/h3>\n
