Custom Gradebook Categories
If needed, create your own categories. You can rename your custom categories, but you cannot delete them.
From the menu, click Grades › Custom Categories.
Your custom assignment categories are listed.
To create a new category, type a new category name and click Save.
You can't use the name of an existing category.
To rename a custom category, click it, edit its name, and click Save.
Renaming a category does not change its use in any way. Only the name changes. You cannot rename the default categories.
Your new or renamed gradebook categories are available.
If you renamed a category, it is updated in all your assignments and settings, but currently open pages will not show the name change until you save your work and reopen the page.
