Advanced Settings

Even more features are available to help you transfer grades in our Advanced Settings, which can be accessed by first clicking the hamburger menu. See below 👇

Pattern Remover

You might run into transferring issues if the students' names are intermingled with non-name information. This feature lets you teach GradeTransferer what to ignore by setting up some rules based on common patterns all the student names have. Learn more in our Pattern Remover article!

Name Discrepancy Fixer

You might run into transferring issues if the platform you are grabbing from has variations of the student names in the platform you are filling to. For example, there could be typos, middle names, or dashes in the grabbing gradebook that do not appear in the filling gradebook. This feature allows you to save a list of rules that will fix the discrepancies. Learn more in our Name Discrepancy Fixer article!

Score Converter

The form of the grades where you 'grab' might not be what's accepted by your 'filling' gradebook, such as a symbol or text. Or, perhaps you need any scores ranging from 70-100 transferred as a "P" to indicate proficiency for standards-based grading. Maybe you want to round your grades to the nearest whole number. You can automatically map grades to new values with GradeTransferer. Learn more in our Score Converter article!

Custom Overrides

Computers, browsers, internet connections, and filters all differ between machines. Use these settings to adjust things to your liking . These settings are saved locally to your machine (not to your account), so you can have different ones set up for your work computer and your home computer. Learn more in our Custom Overrides article!

🎯 Remember to always review transfers for accuracy and completion. The GradeTransferer service can significantly speed up the transfer process and cut down on errors. However, just as with manual grading, it is the teacher's responsibility to verify that grades are correct within their gradebook.
