Gradebook Settings Standardization (MDL-46733)

1. "Recover grades" default should be set to 'Yes'
2. Remove "Aggregate including subcategories" from settings altogether because when used it blows up the grades.
3. Scales: "Include scales in aggregation" should be off by default b/c assignments allow an integer vs. a pulldown menu that can be set at a max by admin
4. All of the gradebook default settings - at the admin level - should be forcible and hideable. Similar to what is done for the site admin > Grades > Grade category settings - ex: Drop the lowest
5. Default values should be called ‘checked’ or ‘unchecked’ instead of Default:Yes or Default:No unless the values are ‘Yes/No’ (see attachment)
6. Dropdowns that contain 2 or 3 items should be radio buttons or a checkbox depending on the options. If a yes/no, checkbox

Simplify Gradebook Report Settings/Preferences (MDL-46734)

Re-organize the user report admin settings: Each report needs a cog that takes you straight to the settings and preferences for that report instead of having a settings tab with all report settings.

1. Preferences and settings for a report should be combined on the same pop-up screen
2. As noted in the example, the default value should be clearly displayed in its own column
3. Access to these Prefs and settings should be through using the standard cog icon
4. Each gradebook report should have a Preferences and settings pop-up
5. "Preferences" and "Settings" should be removed from the drop down and tabs for the gradebook
6. It should be clearly noted on the pop-up which items affect anyone using the course (Settings) and which only affect the view of the current user (Preferences)

Create a "Setup" (Categories and items) pop-up whereby the current user can change what columns are displayed in the Setup screen

1. Access through the standard cog icon
2. Standard Moodle add/ remove arrow interface

.

New functionality

1. UMN has added additional navigation: Report item order; Import order;Export order
2. Sort order ability for scales
3. Adding a toggle for view hide multiplicator and the offset (similar to toggle for keep lowest)
4. Add the calculation setting to administrative settings giving them the ability to make it available or not available.
5. Preconfigured setting packs

Future work
