Add or Change an Assessment Category

The linked article includes introductory information about Categories in Blackboard Ultra courses, including how to create custom categories. If you would like to assign a column to a category, or change the category that an assessment is assigned to:

1. Navigate to the Gradebook in your course.
2. If not already in the Grades view, select Grades.
3. Select the icon for the column that you want to change the category for. Don't select the name of the column, this will only reverse the order of students. You have to select the icon itself.
4. Select Edit.
   
   
   
   
5. Select on the Settings (gear icon) for the assessment. If the column was manually created in the Gradebook, you'll skip this step.
   
   
   
   
6. Scroll to the Grade Category field.
7. Select the category you want to assign the assessment to (You can either change an existing category that's already set, or select a category if one isn't set).
8. Select Save.
