Students per page is limited to 10 or 20 in Grades in D2L Brightspace

Overview

As the number of grade items and/or the number of student enrollments in a course increases, the maximum number of students that can be displayed per page on the Enter Grades screen decreases. As such, D2L Brightspace may reduce the maximum number for the Per Page menu to 10 or 20 on the Enter Grades screen to maintain a high level of performance.

To maximize the Per Page menu number, instructors may do any of the following:

• Collapse one ore more grade category headings on the Enter Grades screen
• Hide (from your view) already graded items or categories on the Enter Grades screen

Note: These options do not affect the students' view of their grades. They only affect your view (as an instructor) of the grade book.

Collapse Grade Category Heading on Enter Grades

The Enter Grades screen will show all grade items and grade categories by default.  You can collapse and expand a grade category to save time scrolling across the grade book, and improve how fast the Enter Grades screen loads. 

To collapse a grade category on the Enter Grades screen:

1. From the Enter Grades page, switch to the Standard View (if you are viewing the spreadsheet view).
2. Click the collapse (minus sign) icon for a grade category. 
   
3. After the page refreshes automatically, the grade category is collapsed.
   
4. As needed, repeat the above steps to collapse additional grade categories.

Hide Grade Items on Enter Grades

The Enter Grades screen will show all grade items and grade categories in your grade book by default.  You can hide individual grade items and grade categories to reduce time scrolling across the grade book, and improve how fast the Enter Grades screen loads.

To hide already graded items and/or categories on the Enter Grades screen:

1. From the Enter Grades page, click the More Actions button.
2. Select Hide/Show Columns.
   
3. To hide items, clear the check box next to the grade items and categories.
   • When the item is not selected, it is hidden on the Enter Grades page.
   • When the item is selected, it is shown on the Enter Grades page.
4. Click Save.
   
5. After the page refreshes automatically, the grade items and/or categories are hidden from your view on the Enter Grades screen.  You will get a note stating, “Some grade items/categories are not displayed."
