Segments can be used to separate your grade book into smaller 'terms'. When assigning tests to your class, after segments have been created, the test results will populate under the appropriate segment based on the date ranges set and the test's end date.
Creating Segments in the Grade Book:
1. Select your Instructor role for EMSTesting or Platinum Tests.
Note: School administrators can also access segments through their admin role. See Additional Info below for directions on how to navigate through this role.
2. Select the drop-down arrow beside the class you wish to edit to bring up class options. From the menu displayed, select Edit Class.
3. Select the Segments tab.
Note: You will notice that one segment has already been created for the length of the entire class. You can choose to keep this segment if you would like the option to view your grade book for the entire class, as well as view it as individual segments.
4. Add your Segments:
- Name: The name that will appear in the grade book for this segment.
- Start/End Dates: The dates the segment will begin and end. When adding segments, be cautious of any gaps in time that could exclude an exam from view in the grade book.
5. After you have entered a name for your segment and the start/end dates, select the green + 'add' button to add the segment.
Note: If you do not click this button, the segment will not be added.
Additional Info: School Administrators and cohort administrators can also access the class settings through the main dashboard.
In the Manage Cohorts drop-down, find the cohort that contains the class for which you'd like to create segments, then select Edit from the Actions column.
This will take you to your cohort settings. Your class can be found by selecting the EMSTesting tab, then the Classes sub-tab. Select to edit your class.
This will take you to your class settings. Select the Segments tab to bring up the segments menu and follow the steps outlined above.
