GRADE CENTER: How do I Hide columns using Column Organization?

Instructors may hide any columns from displaying within the Grade Center. Hiding a column maintains all existing information associated with the column, but prevents it from being seen within the Grade Center. Hiding columns that are not currently being used reduces the length of the grid, thus reducing the need for continuous scrolling.

To hide columns using Column Organization, follow these steps from the Grade Center spreadsheet:

1. Move the cursor over the Manage menu button.
2. Click Column Organization.
3. Place a check mark in each check box next to the name of a column to be hidden.
4. Scroll to the top or bottom of the Column Organization page.
5. Move the cursor over the Show/Hide menu button.
6. Click Hide Selected Columns.
7. The Column Organization page updates immediately and the hidden column names turn gray with the word "(Hidden)" next to it.
8. When finished, click Submit to save.

On the Grade Center spreadsheet, the selected columns will no longer display. The columns are only "hidden," they can be displayed again.

Note: Hiding columns from the Grade Center, does not hide them from the students' My Grades view.
