In a Plan, scales can be used to select the overall plan status, and also for any individual item statuses. These scales are drawn from the Grading Scales section in the Main Admin account for each district.
There are six default grading scales already built into your Main Admin account:
A, B, C, D, F
Always, Usually, Sometimes, Rarely, Never
Exceeds, Meets, Approaching, Not at Standard
Mastery, Near Mastery, Approaching Mastery, Not at Mastery
Yes, No
Points
Additional custom scales can be created specifically for tracking data in Plans. See the instructions below to learn how to create a new scale.
Build the Scale
Grading scales are created in the Control Center of the main admin account. Once you are in the Control Center, select Create Scale.
Step 1: Give your grading scale a name.
💡 Tip: If the scale is specifically for Plans, consider adding "Plans" at the beginning of the name to distinguish it from other grading scales (Ex. Plans - Eligibility).
Step 2: Determine the levels of the scale and label them.
Step 3: Include optional descriptions with each level.
Step 4: To add more levels, select the Add Label button.
Step 5: Choose what colors you would like to represent the levels. If you don't choose colors, the default colors will remain.
Step 6: When you are finished, select Save & Exit.
