Use additional Gradebook search criteria

Jump to section

Most tasks in the Gradebook begin with a Gradebook search.

TIP: Check out Search for class grades for reminders of how to perform a Gradebook search and to see what you can do with your search results.

Additional search criteria can then be defined when performing a Gradebook search for the following:

Class grades (check out Search for class grades)
Item statistics (check out View item statistics)
Grade Reports (check out View my students' grades as a Grade Report)

Defining additional search criteria during these searches isn't mandatory since there are already default settings that control the data that's displayed.

However, you can further customize the data displayed in your Gradebook search results using the:

Filter Results search criteria
View Panel search criteria

Filter Results search criteria

Depending on the type of Gradebook search that you're performing (Example — class grades, item statistics, or Grade Reports), you're able to customize some or all of the following Filter Results search criteria:

Additional search fields of list, results, progress, user, date from, and date to are below the classes list in the filter results pane.

NOTE: The type of Gradebook search you're performing determines which criteria will be available to be customized for your search results (Example — if you are performing a Grade Report search in the Gradebook, the Results, Date from, and Date to fields aren't available and aren't displayed in your search results).

Filter Results criterion	Default option	Explanation of available options
List	All students	Type of user group to be included in the search results: All students — Attempts from all students enrolled in your class. Students with grades — Only students enrolled in your class with grades submitted for the applicable activities. Other users with grades — Only users other than students enrolled in your class with grades submitted for the applicable activities (Example — an instructor who has submitted an attempt at the activity).
Results	Best	Type of user results to be included in the search results: Best — Only the highest grade from each user. Average — The average attempt of all the attempts for each user. Most Recent — The newest attempt for each user. Earliest — Only the first attempt for each user. All (Best) — All of the attempts for each user sorted by best to poorest performance. All (Most Recent) — All of the attempts for each user sorted by newest to oldest time stamps. All (Earliest) — All of the attempts for each user sorted by oldest to newest time stamps.
Progress	All (if using a Grade Report search: Student View)	Status of the users' attempts at the activities to be included in the search results: All — All attempt statuses (completed, in progress, and to be reviewed). Completed — Only fully graded attempts. In Progress — Only attempts that are in progress. To Be Reviewed — Only attempts that require manual grading (Example — essay questions). NOTE: If you're performing a Grade Report search, an additional progress status is available and is set as the default setting: Student View — All lessons and only completed assignments.
User	Undefined	Define the name of a specific user to only include their data in the search results. TIP: Your case-sensitive user search can be the user's: First name Last name User login
Date from	Undefined	Click the Date from field to select a date from the drop-down calendar; only results with Start Date on or after the selected date will be included.
Date to	Undefined	Click the Date to field to select a date from the drop-down calendar; only results with Start Date before the selected date will be included.

NOTE: If no dates are entered for the Date from and Date to fields, data is collected from the date of the first recorded user attempt through to the current date.

View Panel search criteria

A range of check boxes can be selected under the headings of user data, grade data, and summary data in the view panel pane.

NOTE: The type of Gradebook search you're performing determines which criteria will be available to be customized for your search results (Example — if you are performing an item statistics search in the Gradebook, the View Panel isn't available and none of its associated criteria are displayed in your search results).

TIP: Select the check box of a criterion heading to include all available options in your search results for that specific criterion. You can also deselect the heading check box to exclude all options for that specific criterion (Example — select the User Data check box to include all eight user data options in your search results).

The user data heading is selected and all user data fields are also selected.

View Panel criterion	Default option	Explanation of available options
Style	Numeric	Grade presentation style to be used for the grade results: Numeric (Example — 7.6/9.0) Percentage (Example — 84%) Letter (Example — B+) NOTE: The conversion of percentage to letter grades is as follows: Percentage grades that are exactly at a breakpoint might receive either the higher or lower letter grade due to Möbius rounding.
User Data	Last Name, Given Name	User-specific information to be displayed in the search results: Class Name — Name of the class used to perform the Gradebook search. MI — User's middle name initial. Login — User's username (login name). Email — User's Möbius email address. Last Name — User's last name. Student ID — User's student identification number. Given Name — User's first name.

End Date — Date when the user's attempt was submitted. # Attempts — Total number of attempts by the user. Progress — Status of a user's attempt represented as a progress icon. Start Time— Time when the user's attempt was launched. End Time — Time when the user's attempt was submitted. Duration — Calculation of the total time between the start time and end time of the attempt that is rounded down to the closest minute. NOTE: External activities don't display a duration value since this data isn't able to be collected.
Summary Data	Total Points (if Grade Report search: Mean, Median, Total Points)	Statistical data to be displayed in the search results based on your other defined search criteria: Mean — Average value of all of the displayed grades. Median — Middle value of all of the displayed grades. Total Points — Total number of available points of all of the activities selected in the search. # Students — Total number of users represented by the results. # Attempts — Total number of attempts for all users represented by the results. # Attempts/Student — Calculated average number of attempts per user of the users represented by the results. NOTE:Total Points is always displayed as a numerical value even if the grade presentation style isn't numeric.

NOTE: Progress is identified using one of the following progress icons:

Completed and not passed— The student doesn't meet the minimum requirements to complete the activity or the student's attempt has been submitted but they didn't meet the minimum requirements to be considered as passed.
Completed and passed— The student's attempt has been submitted and they have passed or the attempt could be awaiting manual grading.
In progress— The student's attempt is underway and hasn't yet been submitted.
Not yet attempted (no icon) — The student hasn't yet started their attempt.
