When first starting a new grade book, and navigating through classes, you might asked to first go through the class options.

It's best to set these options immediately.

If you click Cancel, you can always get back to Options by click the on the toolbar

 

 

Go through each of the tabs and edit the settings as needed

 

Scale Tab
(A)  On the Scale tab, you can choose a scale or even create a new scale.

(B) You can manipulate the data in the Grades and Minimum % columns by highlighting and replacing the data. 

You can also delete whole rows if needed by clicking the blue down arrow and selecting Delete this row

 

Scale Tab
On the Round tab, set how you wish the numbers to round.

 

Category Tab
On this tab, change the categories as you wish by highlighting what's there by default and typing.

In the Grade Scale Option, categories can be set for different scales (not normally done)

Categories can also be weighted by clicking the radio button.  Be careful about this option.  You may wish to talk to another teacher who uses this feature or contact your Tech Resource Teacher. 

Note that when first selected the first 4 categories will change to 25 (percent).  Type in the needed percent for each, with the total adding up to 100

 

Footnote Tab
Footnotes can be added to individual grades by right-clicking in the data cell.  The default footnotes can be edited here.  It's best to change these early and then leave then be.

 

Score Tab
This is a very handy feature to input specific issues like absences and missing work.

Most of your changes will be to the Value column or the Counts as... column. 

For instance, if a student was absent the day of an assignment, you would type in an a for the grade.  Doing so would put in a "0" and would count as missing.

 

Calendar Tab
Set the first day of the term and the last day by clicking on the appropriate month and date

 

Seat Tab
Click the appropriate radio buttons for the needed effect. 

To view - when you're done with Options, click the Seating tab on the main EGP window

 

     
Color Tab
You can change the background color, the grid color, color for category grades, etc.
