If your school has assigned a Gradebook category type to the selected course, you may not be able to edit fields on the page. Category types allow your school to pre-define the Gradebook rules for courses. For more information, refer to What Is a Gradebook Category Type?

A total of five tabs can display on the Gradebook Setup page. When a competency group is selected, only the Categories and Assignments tabs will display.

For each category, you can indicate the default weight of the category when calculating IPR and Report Cards marks. For more information, refer to:
