Gradebook-Ability to Mass Mark Ungraded as 0 and Missing

(7)

Skyward has a feature that allows teachers to press a button and mark all ungraded assignments in that column with a 0 AND missing indicator.  This feature would work for assignments that require no submission or on paper and save teachers time having to manually check the missing indicator for each student assignment.

This would add functionality to set a default grade of "0 and missing" at the same time - as an option to the existing Set Default Grade functionality.

My request is different. We want to be able to automate this process in

Canvas, not Skyward. We want the same functionality in Canvas that Skyward

has.

Thanks for the clarification, byrnsmar‌; the reference to Skyward threw me off for a second. Smiley Happy

That said, it's already possible to mark all assignments that have not been graded as 0, all at the same time, by using the Set Default Grade function at the top of the column (How do I set a default grade for an assignment?‌). Would you like to edit the idea so that it specifically requests adding a default grade of "0 and missing" as an option to the existing Set Default Grade functionality?

I thought I had that by marking it 0 AND missing, but I can add the

additional language to make it more clear. Thanks for the feedback.
