Impact: Instructors

Sorting options in the gradebook provide a more efficient grading experience.

Now instructors can sort the following gradebook grid view columns:

  • Student Name
  • Overall Grade
  • Tests and Assignments
  • Manual columns

Instructors can sort records in ascending or descending and remove any applied sorting. A purple highlight in the column header helps instructors identify where sorting is applied.

Any sorting applied yields a temporary change to the sort order of all columns in the gradebook grid view.

A new configuration option called "Grid view record sorting" has been added to the Ultra configuration page in the Administrator Panel. The default state is "On." Administrators can opt out of using the sorting controls by setting the option to "Off."
