Total to Display as Points versus %

I an an instructor who has used Canvas for years. I did consult the Canvas Community re: this first. Canvas seems to have done away with the "Display as Points" option in the Total column for the Gradebook. Why? I have each assignment set to record as points and would like the Total to display as points versus a %. The only options I see now are "Sort By," "Move to End," and "Apply Score to Ungraded." Can the "Display as Points" be accessed some other way?

The tech team at my college figured this out and e-mailed me the fix. I had to go in to ASSIGNMENTS and uncheck the "weighted" option and save it, and then go to the GRADEBOOK and click on the three dots to pull up the options. The "Display as Points" did show up then and I was able to change it.

Hi @gdandrea -

If you're using the classic gradebook, that option should still exist for you.

How do I use the Total column in the Gradebook?

However, if your school has moved to Enhanced Gradebook Filters, that option is not available. Each school can opt-in for this feature, so it may be your school's Canvas Admin may have more information they can share with you.

I would agree with @KristinL ; however, I just went into my playground to setup my gradebook as points (I use %weighted for my courses and therefore don't get the points option anyway). I turned on the enhanced gradebook filters. The filters option was running and I did have the option to toggle between points and percentages on my total column. I also noticed that there were changes to the filter section compared to last week. So maybe in the last 24 hours or so Canvas has pushed an update to the enhanced filters configuration in Canvas and the problem you saw is now fixed.

If the problem has been fixed for you, please post back. And if it has not been fixed, then also post back.

But at least in my play7ground with me being able to select enhanced filters, I do not see the problem (I don't know if it existed previously for me).

Could "Timeline Visualization" be the Key to Improving the Student Calendar?
We are all familiar with the standard Course Calendar, where assignment due dates are automatically added.

It would be a…
