Any assignment that has reached its due date can be archived.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Archiving an assignment moves it from the Current tab to the Archived tab in the Assignment list view. This allows you to tidy away assignments you\u2019ve finished working on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Moving something to the Archived tab doesn\u2019t change its status or prevent you from marking the assignment. It is just organising the assignment items into two lists (Current and Archived).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All the data from your archived assignments is still available to report on in the Reports tab.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How can I archive an assignment?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once an assignment has reached its due date, you can archive it. The \u2018archive\u2019 button appears in two places: on the group assignment item listing and the assignment item overlay &#8211; overview tab. You can also use the \u2018archive all\u2019 button at the top of the Current tab to archive all items past their due date. Find out more on Archiving <a href=\"\/teacher-support\/assessment-and-markbook\/archiving-assignments\/\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What if I\u2019ve archived an item by mistake\/changed my mind?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can move an item back into the Current tab using the \u2018unarchive\u2019 button. Go to the Archived tab, open the assignment and click the \u2018unarchive\u2019 button. This will move it back into the Current tab.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Does archiving an assignment affect how other teachers view it?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes, once an assignment has been archived by the teacher who created it, it will also appear in the archive for all other teachers (but remember that assignments set by other teachers are only visible when the \u2018all teachers\u2019 filter is selected).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How can I find the assignments for a specific group or student?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Go to the white bar at the top of the screen and select the \u2018view group\u2019 drop down. \u2018All groups\u2019 will be selected by default. Clicking on \u2018all groups\u2019 opens an overlay where you can select a specific group or student.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How can I find assignments that are due today\/this week?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Look in your Current tab to find all your current assignments. Assignments are ordered by due date from latest to oldest and those that require marking will have a pink \u201cto mark\u201d tab.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How can I find assignments that need marking?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can filter for assignments that are \u2018to mark\u2019. This will show all unmarked assignments that require manual marking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><strong>How can I find the assignments that I\u2019ve set?<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Current tab will show you all the assignments set by you (and only you) by default.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How can I see if I have any uncompleted assignments?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Use the \u2018not submitted\u2019 filter to find all assignments where one or more students still haven\u2019t submitted their work. It will show assignments which are either before or past their due date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>I can\u2019t find an assignment from July 2021\/where are my old assignments?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All your assignments dating from before 31 July 2021 have been placed in your archive, to help keep your Current tab tidy. If you wish to move any of these old assignments back into your Current tab, you can do so by clicking \u2018unarchive\u2019 on them individually. This is the only time that we will archive any of your assignments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The teacher reports have moved. Where can I find them?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <a href=\"\/teacher-support\/assessment-and-markbook\/running-reports\/\">reports<\/a> are now available in<strong> <\/strong>a separate tab accessed via their own tab. This makes it quicker and easier to access them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Can I view assignments in the Reports tab even if my students haven\u2019t all completed it?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes. All results are fed through to the Reports tab regardless of whether the students have completed the assignment (an empty cell denotes &#8216;not completed&#8217;) \u2014 or whether the teacher has marked the assignment (an em-dash denotes &#8216;awaiting marking&#8217;).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>I still can\u2019t see the results for my assignment in the Reports tab. Why not?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Check the filters at the top of the screen. <a href=\"\/teacher-support\/assessment-and-markbook\/running-group-reports\/\">The Group Task Report<\/a> shows data for all the items assigned to students in the class selected with a due date during the date range selected, so check that you have selected the right group and the right date range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>When I export my data as a CSV, the report has different fields to those I\u2019m used to.<\/strong> <strong>What has changed and why?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We\u2019ve made two improvements to the download functionality: now surname and first name are in separate columns and scores are also in separate columns. This will make it easier for you to manipulate your data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What do the symbols in the Group Task Report mean?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here is a key for the symbols:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"539\" height=\"332\" src=\"https:\/\/support.kerboodle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2022\/02\/image-1.png\" alt=\"Key for reporting\" class=\"wp-image-4122\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Can I view marks as percentages instead of scores in the Group Task Report?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes, there is a toggle at the top left of your screen that allows you to choose between scores and percentages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>I can&#8217;t see RAG coding when I look at the marks for an assignment. Why not?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The RAG coding is no longer available, but you can still see students&#8217; marks for each question at a glance.<strong> <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Can I get further support?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our full Markbook and Reports support pages can be found <a href=\"\/category\/teacher-support\/assessment-and-markbook\/\">here<\/a>.
