I'm trying to add a criteria into a rubrics. I only see an option to add a criteria at the very end. Is there a way to re-order the criteria within the rubrics?
Thanks
Hi @NehaGulati,
With the standard rubrics in Canvas, unless you're using some kind of modification script, you can't add a criteria in the middle of others. Unfortunately, you also can't rearrange things, so if you need to add something in the middle it would be a lot of retyping.
The good news is that Instructure is currently developing what they call "enhanced rubrics" which have a lot more features, but also some added complexity because of the extra features. You may or may not have access to these in your Canvas course, depending what your school/institution administrators have enabled for you. You can read more about the enhanced rubrics in the Enhanced Rubrics User Group.
I hope this helps, even if it's not the info you hoped to hear right away.

Hi there, @NehaGulati ...
In addition to what @chriscas has mentioned, if you are still using the standard rubrics, @James Jones has developed a script that allows you to re-order rubrics. You can find it at:
Sorting Rubrics Made Easy - Instructure Community - 272179
This is one of his many Canvancements - Canvas Enhancements - Instructure Community - 246997 that you can check out whenever you want.
I hope this will be of some help to you. If you have questions about James' script, I would encourage you to post your question(s) to James' blog post.
Good luck!
Is the Submitted date and time the moment when the button was pressed, or the moment when the quiz uploaded into the system?
Is there a way for the grading rubric to have a default selection set? I have a rubric that checks if a student has mastered a learning objective at the end of the semester (yes or no) and most students are 'yes'. It is tedious to click yes 10 times per student in each class. Can the rubric auto generate a 'yes' and I can…
Hi all, Quick question about the Gradebook color status for a 2-part checkpoint discussion. If a student completes the first due date (initial post) but does not complete the required replies by the second due date, is there any way for Canvas to automatically show a color (e.g., missing/late) instead of staying as…
Canvas Portfolios provide a powerful platform for students to document their learning journey, reflect on their progress, and showcase competencies. However, in programs where multiple educators are involved in assessment—such as team teaching, moderation, or competency-based evaluation—there are important questions about…
In legacy SpeedGrader, the instructors see students' initial post followed by replies. Why is it no longer listed that way in the Modernized SpeedGrader? Grading is made easier if the initial post is first, making it easily identifiable.
