How to Create Smart Views

Creating Smart Views in the Blackboard Grade Center will allow you to select specific criteria to view student achievements. There are several default Smart Views available in the Grade Center, but you can also create your own.

Smart Views employ the use of Categories for some settings. For example, the Assignments and Tests  links listed under the Full Grade Center menu are Smart Views that allow you to view all columns that are categorized as Assignments or Tests.

Assignments and Tests are default Smart Views already displayed under the Full Grade Center in the Control Panel.
