[ARCHIVED] Grade book Total Column: % vs Points

[kahlar]

I want to be able to change from % to points in the "total" column in grade book. In some of my shells it will allow me to make the choice and, in other shells, it will not have a choice (It is only the %). How can I make all shells have the points?

Hi  @kahlar ,

According to the How do I use the Total column in the Gradebook?, there are a few things that could be preventing you from viewing the Total column in points: 

• Viewing total grades as a point value is available only if you use unweighted assignment groups in your course. When assignment groups are weighted, points cannot be displayed for the total grade.
• Viewing the Total Column in the Gradebook may be restricted when multiple grading periods are enabled. This feature also limits viewing the total grade in the student Grades page.
• When Multiple Grading Periods are enabled in a course and grading periods are weighted, points cannot be displayed for the total grade.

Feel free to reach out if you have any other questions.
