Creating Spreadsheets
If major grade spreadsheets were not automatically created for you, you will need to
create one major grade spreadsheet for each class and grading period for the entire year
(Ex: If your school is on six-week grading periods, you will have six major grade
spreadsheets). If you want Integrade to automatically average your homework/daily
grades to one grade, you will also need to create one daily/homework spreadsheet for
each class and grading period. If you weight grades, you will only need the one major
grade spreadsheet.
1. Open IGPro and open your gradebook from the server
2. Click in the Class blank and choose the class for which you want to create
spreadsheets.
3. You may also see spreadsheets for each period that have EndTerm in
parentheses. These special End Term spreadsheets are created by the CIMS
student management system. Do not use, delete, or alter these End Term
spreadsheets. You will use them only at the end of the grading period to upload
grades for report cards.
4. Once the correct class is open, click on the SETUP menu and click on the
SPREADSHEETS option.
5. You will see the spreadsheet add/edit screen as shown below. To create a new
spreadsheet for this class, click NEW in the lower-left corner of the window.
6. Always leave the selection on Create a Numeric Spreadsheet, and click NEXT.
We do not use the attendance function or skills spreadsheets.
7. Give your spreadsheet a name. It is strongly suggested that the name for your
spreadsheet also contain the six weeks for which it will be used. For the major
grade spreadsheet for a 5th six weeks, a good name would be, 5th Six Weeks
Major Grades. After entering the name for the spreadsheet, click NEXT.
8. For most spreadsheets, you will click on Total Points for your spreadsheet type.
If you wish to weight grades on this spreadsheet, leave the selection on Weighted
Type. Click CREATE to create the sheet.
NOTE: If you wish the average of your homework/daily grades to count
differently than a single major grade, you must use Weighted Type for your
major grade spreadsheet. You will also need to define your weighting schemes.
See the section on Setting Type Sets to set weight values. If you create a separate
homework spreadsheet, always choose Total Points.
9. Your new sheet will now appear in your spreadsheet list for this class. You now
need to choose the grading scale to be used with this sheet. Check the Grade
Table blank to make sure the correct grade table is chosen. If not, click n the
Grade Table blank and choose the correct grade table for this course. If you don’t
see the correct grade table, see the section of this manual on creating grade tables.
10. Click CLOSE.
11. Follow steps 4-10 to create spreadsheets for each grading period of the year.
Deleting Spreadsheets
Be careful when deleting spreadsheets. Never delete an End Term spreadsheet. If
you have grades in a spreadsheet, make sure you print a copy of your spreadsheet
before deleting.
1. Open IGPro and open your gradebook from the server
2. Click in the Class blank and choose the class for which you want to delete
spreadsheets.
3. Be careful not to delete or edit any End Term spreadsheets.
4. Once the correct class is open, click on the SETUP menu and click on the
SPREADSHEETS option.
5. You will see the spreadsheet add/edit screen as shown below. To delete a
spreadsheet for this class, click on the spreadsheet you wish to delete and click
DELETE in the lower-left corner of the window.
6. You will be asked if you are sure you want to delete this spreadsheet. If so, click
YES.
7. Click CLOSE.
