Instructors can customize their view of the Grade Center by hiding and\/or reordering columns to focus on specific columns and reduce scrolling. Hidden columns are not deleted from the Grade Center. Instructors can show\/hide and reorder Grade Center columns at any time.<\/p>\n

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

You can hide Grade Center columns in one of two ways.<\/p>\n

Method One - Hide Column<\/h4>\n

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

Method Two - Column Organization<\/h4>\n

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

    \n
  1. On the [Manage] menu, select [Column Organization].<\/li>\n
  2. Click the checkbox to the left of the column you want to hide and then click on the [Show\/Hide] button.<\/li>\n
  3. Click [Submit].<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    When you use Column Organization to hide a column, this will hide the column from the instructor\u2019s Grade Center view. However, students can still see the hidden column in My Grades. To hide columns from students you should use the drop-down menu to the right of the column name and choose \"Show\/Hide to Users\" or edit the column information and answer no to the \"Show this Column to Students\" option. You can easily tell when a column is hidden from students because in the instructor's Grade Center view, the column will have a circle with red slash next to the column name.<\/p>\n

    Additionally, instructors can also use Smart Views<\/a> to get a focused view of the Grade Center.<\/p>\n
