'New grade item' with 'Item name' text box, 'Show more' link, 'Grade type' drop down menu with 'Value' showing, 'Scale' drop down menu with 'Use no scale' showing, 'Maximum grade' text box with '100.00' showing, 'Minimum grade' with '0.00 showing', 'Hidden' with tickbox (unticked), 'Locked' with tickbox (unticked). 'Parent category' with 'Extra credit' tickbox (unticked) and 'Grade category' dropdown menu with module title showing.Image Added
    2. Note: A hidden grade will not be visible to students – you can uncheck this to release the grades when you are ready, or enable a date to make all grades available to students on that date. 
      • Locking prevents changes to grades so it is unlikely that locking would be applied until the marking process is complete, if at all. For more information about locking or hiding grades see Grades 6: To hide a grade for a particular assignment, or a particular category of grades from the student.
      • If you are using Categories you can choose (under Parent category) to include this item in an existing category. Select the Grade category from the drop-down list. (You can change this at a later date if you need to.) See Grades 5: How to add and use categories in the Grader report
