Display and Hide Student Information Columns in Gradebook

Use these procedures to manage what and how student information is displayed in the Gradebook Entry page. The Student Information columns can display student names and student-specific information. The leftmost column on the Gradebook page is the scores grid row number which always displays, but you can choose to display or hide any of the other student information columns. The columns available are: Name, Alerts, Notes, Grade, Student Average, Student ID, Course (course and section number), and Performance (this displays a "sparkline" chart to show each student's scoring trend for the displayed assignment grades).
