How to Show/Hide Gradebook Columns

Important: If an instructor hides a column from the gradebook, that column continues to appear for students unless it is hidden in Student’s View.

Student’s view

Grade center items can be hidden from students using the Visible to Students drop down menu. Hiding a Gradebook item will also hide the assessment link.

In the Gradebook,

  1. Click on the icon for the item to be hidden.
  2. Click Edit to open the item.
  3. Click on the Drop-Down for Visible to students and click Hidden from students.
  4. Click Save to change the option

Items hidden from students will have a slash through the icon in the instructor’s gradebook

Example Hidden Column

Instructor View

Using the new Items Management page accessible from the Gradebook Settings panel, instructors can configure column visibility for their gradebook view, ensuring a cleaner and more organized workspace when grading. Instructors can configure visibility for a single column selection or in bulk.

  1. Click Manage Gradebook Items in the Items Management section of Gradebook Settings.
  2. Modify the Instructor visibility for individual items, or select multiple items using the selection box and click the Edit Visibility option button.
