Set grade visibility options for learners

1. On the navbar, click Grades.
2. Click Settings.
3. In the Org Unit Display Options tab, set your Learner View Display Options.
4. Click Save.

You can also edit grade visibility options for individual grade items using the Edit Item page by setting Display Options.
Note: Bonus grade items do not display to learners with the grade scheme information like other grade items, no matter what display options you set. Bonus grades are calculated differently than other grade items and only added to final grades after all other calculations. Therefore, learners can only view the numeric points, and potentially the weight achieved, for a bonus grade, but no other grade scheme information.

Set release conditions for grades

Release conditions allow you to associate grade items and grade book categories with other items in Connect. For example, you can require that users meet some other criteria, such as completing a quiz or completing an assignment, before a specific grade item appears in their grade book.

1. On the navbar, click Grades.
2. On the Manage Grades page, click on the grade item you want to set release conditions for.
3. In the Restrictions tab, in the Release Conditions area, do one of the following:
   • Click Attach Existing, then select the check box for any condition you want to attach. Click Attach.
   • Click Create and Attach, then select a Condition Type from the drop-down list. Complete any additional Condition Details that appear and click Create.
4. From the drop-down list, select if All conditions must be met or Any condition must be met to access the grade item or category.
5. Click Save and Close.
