My Preferences/Information
Display Options

Your first option is the Language preference. The default selection is English. Select the applicable language radio button to translate select screens to the selected language.

Select the Highlight Color, which applies to menus, tabs, and headers. In the image shown, pink has been chosen. Once saved, all menus, tabs, and headers will turn pink; see the image shown for an example.

You can choose how student information is displayed using the Student Info Layout pull-down. The options include One Column, Two Columns, and Three Columns. The default set up is one column. See the image for an example of two columns.

Select the Default Filters On check box to automatically enable the filters feature whenever present on a screen, as opposed to turning on the filters manually.  It is highly encouraged to turn this feature on.

Select how you want the date to display via the Date Format pull-downs. Choose whether you want the day of the week (Mon) to display. Choose how you want the month to display; options include March, Mar, 03, and 3. The options for the day include [0]26, 26, and 26th. If you want the year displayed, choose either 2018 or 18.

Once you select how you would like the date to display, you can select the format in which it displays, such as Month Day, Year or Day Month, Year.

Select the Configure Gradebooks separately for each section check box to create categories for each section separately, as opposed to creating categories in a combined gradebook for multiple sections.

Important Reminders:

•  When you enable Configure Gradebooks separately for each section, settings enabled via Grades > Gradebook > Settings > Configuration tab will only affect the current section when applied.

• The preference Configure Gradebooks separately for each section is school year specific. When you change a Gradebook Configuration setting, the setting will only be changed for that school year and not all years.

You also have the option to combine different sections that take place during the same period in order to take attendance by period, as opposed to taking attendance for every section separately even though they take place during the same period. Select the Combine sections in the same period for taking attendance check box to enable this function.  Note: You will only see this option if you have multiple sections assigned to you in the same period.

Select the check box to Combine sections for gradebook to combine multiple different sections into the same gradebook as a way for teachers to enter grades for several sections all at once.  

Disclaimer: If you decide to combine sections for your Gradebook, be aware that if sections are ungrouped after grades have been entered, you may lose grades previously entered. See the warning below that displays when Combine sections for gradebook is selected.

Teacher gradebooks can be combined By period or by Custom Groups.

If you select Custom Groups, more options will displays starting with Ungrouped Sections. To create a new group of sections, click Add Group.

Once a new group has been added, you can edit the title of the group by clicking the provided text box, as shown in the image.

To add sections to the group, drag and drop the desired sections from the Ungrouped Sections box to the created group, in this case the ALG 1 box.

If there are groups that do not contain sections, click the Remove Empty Groups button to delete them. You can also click the red X in the corner of the group to delete it.

To delete all groups, click the Remove All Groups button.

Choose whether you want to display the menu on the side or at the top by selecting the check box, Use Sidebar Menu or by clearing the selection. The images show the menu on the side and the top.  As a district, we have defaulted this setting to on as all documentation from the vendor comes with the sidebar as the default.

The menu icons will always appear when using the sidebar menu; however, when using the top menu, the menu icons are optional. If you do not want the menu icons to display, clear the selection for Display Menu Icons.
