1. Input Mode allows you to enter student results by either Points, Score or Percentage. Keep in mind that Illuminate calculates all grades with points. The score and percent input mode simply calculates the points from that. For example : My assignment is worth 10 points. The student receives 90% of the assignment, so I switch my input mode to Percent and enter 90. This will automatically convert the students point value to 9 out of 10.
2. Column Per Page allows you to set how many assignments you want to see. You can set your assignments per page default in your Preferences page in the Setup tab.
3. Use the page links to jump to more assignments.
4. Update Score Summary will refresh your screen, updating colors, overall grades, class averages, etc.
Note: Keep in mind that every score is Saved automatically after you enter it. Updating Score Summaries does not have to be selected everytime you want to save, we do that for you.
5. Above each assignment are links to View or Edit the assignment.
6. The little icons represent the category that the assignment was tied to.
7. Use the little black arrows to sort any of your columns on this page
