Question

How do I sort or filter my Vantage gradebook so I can more easily find what I'm looking for?

Solution

You can quickly get to the gradebook for any course by locating that course on your My Courses dashboard and opening the Gradebook page.

You can access your Vantage gradebook from the course tile on your My Courses dashboard.

If you are already in another area of your Vantage course, you can easily get to the Gradebook from the top navigation menu.

If you are in another tab of your course, you can use the top navigation menu to access the Gradebook tab.

The Filter tool helps you sort the gradebook based on selections you apply.

At the top right of the gradebook, the Filter tool allows you to change what the gradebook displays.

The filter options allow you to sort the gradebook by Due Dates and Assignment Types. Make your selections then click Apply to update your gradebook view based on your filter settings. You can also create groups to help filter your gradebook by clicking + New Group.

The gradebook Filters menu allows you to update the gradebook display based on due dates, assignment types or groups.

Enter the name of the group you want to create then click Add.

You can create groups by click "+ New Group" on the Filters menu. Once you do, you are brought to the Groups area where you can start typing the name of the group and clicking Add.

You can then drag and drop students from the right side of the page onto your newly created group. Click the red X next to a student's name to remove them from the group.

Once you add a group, you can drag and drop students from the right side of the Groups page to the group on the left side of the page.

You can repeat these steps to add as many Groups as you would like. Once you add the groups, they become available as a selection to filter your gradebook.

Once you create a group, it will appear as an option that can be selected on the Filters menu.

If you want to edit or delete a group at a later date, click the pencil icon for that group on the Filter pop-up window.

To edit or delete a group, located that group on the Filters menu and click the pencil icon for that group.

The trash can icon deletes the group while the pencil icon can be used to edit it.

Once you create a group, you can delete or edit it by clicking the appropriate icon at the bottom right of the Group's page.
