option to display analytics grades whisker plot y-axis as % (not points)

  Idea will be open for vote Wed. July 1, 2015 - Wed. October 7, 2015  Learn more about voting...

The functionality of the whisker plot within course analytics would be greatly improved if the vertical axis could be displayed as a percentage, instead of total points (toggle between points and percentages for example).  If you have 10 point assignments and 100 point assignments, it is very difficult to see any detail on the smaller assignments in the current format.  Creating a % option would make all assignments equally easy to interpret.

Having both would be ideal.  The points are useful to compare importance to the overall grade, but the percentage would help visualize a pattern easier.

I agree, Matt.  It would be nice to have both. I edited the original idea to include both possibilities.

Panda-Cat: A mythical creature that we dreamed up to catch your attention, make you laugh, and encourage you to keep reading the explanation of our archive process for Feature Ideas

Archive: An archived Feature Idea is not dead forever, but it has been taken out of stage progression. After Community members submit feature ideas, they are reviewed by the Community Team and put to a vote by the community-at-large. If the idea does not receive 100 votes within 3 months it will be archived. Ideas that reach the 100 vote threshold within the first three months remain open for voting. Find more information about this process at How does the voting process work for feature ideas?

Can archived ideas still become a feature?  Yes. Some feature ideas that do not receive the initial 100 votes can be resubmitted by Community members. As people's needs change, sometimes an old idea gets new traction. Oftentimes similar archived feature ideas are still evaluated as a whole and may influence product direction.

This idea will remain in the open voting forum as an idea related to Priority: Analytics 2: Teacher & Student

*Being a related idea does not guarantee it is slated for development, instead it indicates that the idea is related to the overall scope and is being used to inform the process.

Greetings  @irwinc  

Have you taken a look at the new Canvas Release: Analytics Beta (Course Grade), specifically the grade graph?  It displays assignments, discussions, and quizzes in percentages.  Does this match what you were seeking?

Thank you for sharing this idea with the Instructure Community!

The Product Team reviewed all feature proposals recently, and unfortunately, this thread was identified as one that they would not be able to include in their current or future plans. While we appreciate your proposal, we also want to be transparent about the likelihood of something like this making it to production.

Thank you for collaborating, and we hope that you submit another idea in the future!
