Setting up a gradebook, click by click
From an empty class to a working grade sheet: the guided setup gets you there in about a minute, then a visit to Edit Structure (or a ready-made template) finishes the job. This walkthrough follows the exact buttons you'll click, right through to entering and downloading grades.

Guided class setup
Open the guided setup
On the Dashboard, click Get started if you have no classes yet — or on the Students & Classes page, click Guided Setup.
Dashboard → Get startedName the class
Give it a short name you'll recognize at a glance — something like 10A or Grade 7 Math.
Add your subjects
List the subjects you teach this class. Every student you add next is enrolled in all of them automatically.
Add students
Type names one by one, or switch on placeholder names to fill the class instantly with names like 10A001 that you can rename later.
Set up column groups
Add groups like Homework, Tests, or Quizzes. Choose how many columns each one gets, and they are numbered automatically — Homework 1, Homework 2. Participation is already there: its columns appear when you record lessons in the calendar.
Pick a starting grading scale
Choose the system every subject starts with — letter grades, a numeric scale, percentages, or one of your own. The one that is usual where you signed up is already selected. You can still change it per subject later.
Review and create
Check the summary, then click Create class. Everything — class, subjects, students, columns, and grading scale — is ready. You can change any of it afterwards from the Students page.
Step 6 of 6 → Create classFine-tune it in the gradebook
Lay out your categories in Edit Structure
From the class gradebook, click Edit Structure. Pick Start from a template for a ready-made setup that matches how you teach, or build your own: categories (like Exams) each holding one or more parts (like Written Tests, Oral Exams). Category weights are simply percentages, and one line tells you whether they add up to 100%.
Edit Structure → Save ChangesBuild your own scale, if you need one
On the Grading Setup page, click Create Scale to define your own symbols and their percentage thresholds. It then shows up as an entry mode for any part in Edit Structure.
Pick or type a grade
Click a grade box and the marks that column allows open right underneath it. Pick one and it is saved straight away, or just type. Columns kept in percentages or points have no fixed list, so you type a number there. Averages, the weighted final and the trend line update as you go.
Add a note, or say why there's no grade
Click the small dot in a cell's corner to open the grade editor. Besides the grade you can mark the cell Not handed in or Absent, and write a note for that mark. It also shows when you first entered the mark and, if you changed it later, when.
Fill a column, or download the grades
The small arrow on a column opens Fill this column: mark every blank as "Not handed in", fill the blanks or the whole column with one grade, clear it, or delete it. Download Grades above the gradebook gives you every grade plus the final grade as a PDF, an Excel spreadsheet or a CSV file, for Semester 1, Semester 2 or the whole Year.
