How to fill a markbook column

Use this guide when you need to enter the same mark for multiple learners in the same assessment column. Fill Column copies a mark into empty cells in the same column without overwriting existing marks.

Before you start

Search for the assessment and learners you want to mark.

Fill a column with the same mark

  1. In the markbook grid, find the assessment column you want to update.

  2. Enter the mark for one learner in that assessment column.

  3. Select the cell that contains the mark you entered.

  4. Select Fill column. Markbook copies the mark into the empty cells above and below the selected cell in the same assessment column. Cells that already contain marks are not changed.

  5. Mark changes are not saved automatically. Review the updated cells before you save your changes. To save the filled marks, select Save updated assessments.
