A Smart View is a focused look at the Grade Center. It shows only the columns that match a set of criteria, and the view is saved for continued use. Smart Views are useful to quickly find data when the Grade Center includes a great number of students and columns. A Smart View is especially helpful if you have merged multiple sections of a course into one Blackboard course and you want to keep the students organized by their assigned section.<\/p>\n

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

Several Smart Views are available by default, but you can also create your own. You can easily move between the Full Grade Center view and any of the available Smart Views. You can set a Smart View as the default view of the Grade Center and change it at any time.<\/p>\n

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

  7. You can optionally select a filter for results and include hidden information in the grade data.<\/li>\n
