Menu button



2. Click Gradebook Setup in the Administration block.

3. In the navigation tabs at top, click on the View tab and click on the Single View tab.

The Select grade item dropdown can be used to select any graded item in the gradebook.



5. Scroll to the bottom of the screen.


6. Click the checkbox titled Perform bulk insert. This will ensure that empty grades will have a 0 value inserted in their place.
