Gradebook Total Points

[JordanGarciaNAU]

Good morning! How do I use the Gradebook? 

I am trying to help my supervisor with a gradebook issue that is confounding us both.

In this course, she is trying to "display as points" the total column.

As shown here, though, the option is greyed out. She's already triple checked that assignment group weighted grading is OFF , so, we're kind of at a loss.

The only thing that I can possibly guess it might be linked to is that underneath her assignments/quizzes the publish/unpublish option is greyed out and shows this : Can't unpublish xxx if there are student submissions. 

Any ideas would be super appreciated !

Hello @JordanGarciaNAU and welcome!  As you will find with this link, 

• How do I use the Total column in the Gradebook?

if your instructor has weighted grades, he/she can't see total points.  If the grades aren't weighted, I'd check to see if ALL of the assignments are listed as points.  This can easily be done by looking at the 3 dots on each assignment and checking to see if points or percentages are used.

Thank you so much for your reply. So grades are definitely NOT WEIGHTED, and I went through their gradebook, and all 7 quizzes are listed as "enter grades as ->points". Any other possible solution that you can think of? I appreciate your help in trying to solve this issue!

I don't have the option you have, and it may be because I have the enhanced gradebook turned on.  I do see, however, that I am asked to enter a grade for each student before I can see other options.  From your screenshot, could this be the issue?

Hi @jcarpenter1 ...

You may not have seen this in the August 2023 Canvas Release Notes, but the Enhanced Gradebook Filter is now standard for everyone.  Check out the section on "Enhanced Gradebook Filter Feature Enforcement":

Thanks again for your response @jcarpenter1 . I will see if the option turns on once grades have been placed for that assignment.
