-==== Tasks in Integrade – Adding, Editing, Copying ====
-=== I. Create Tasks ===
-  - Click “Tasks” on the menu bar at the top of your gradebook
-  - Click “New Task”.
-  - Click “Next”.
-  - Type the name of the Task in “Task Name”.
-  - Type the “date assigned” and the “due date”, as appropriate.
-  - Choose the “Type” of task for this assignment. It is VERY important to choose the correct type so that the grades calculate accurately.
-  - The “Out of Raw” should be 100 points in most cases and the scale factor should be 1. You can adjust this if needed to fit your grading style. Integrade already uses percentages to weight/calculate grades, so there is no need to add extra weighting here unless you want a particular assignment to count more than any other of that same type (like one test to count more than all other tests). If you want ALL your tests to count twice as much as any other assignment, it is best to make that change in the “Grading Setup” under “Type Sets”, rather than change the weighting here.
-  - Click "Create".
-  - When you go back to your gradebook, you should see a column that has the name of your new Task. You can enter numerical grades for each student. As you add more and more tasks, you will notice that Integrade keeps a running average.
-Note: you can also create new tasks in the “Edit Tasks” section by choosing “New” and following the same instructions.
-=== II. Editing Tasks ===
-  - Click “Tasks” on the menu bar at the top of your gradebook.
-  - Click “Edit Tasks”.
-  - On the left column, click the particular task you want to change so it highlights.
-  - On the "General" tab, you can change the name of the task or the dates assigned.
-  - On the "Points" tab, you can change the “Task Type”, the “Out of Raw” score, the “Maximum score”, or the scale factor.  You can also lock the grades on a particular task. This will prevent you from accidentally typing over grades in the wrong task, but only do this when you are finished entering grades for a task.
-  - On the "Scores" tab, you can enter or change students’ grades for this task.
-  - On the "Stats" tab, you can view statistics for this task. You can see things like class averages, highest and lowest, etc. This could help make decisions for curving grades or other adjustments.
-  - When you finish editing your task, you can either click another task to edit or click “Close”.
-=== III. Deleting and Duplicating Tasks ===
-  - Click “Tasks” on the menu bar at the top of your gradebook.
-  - Click “Edit Tasks”.
-  - If you want to delete a task, on the left column, click the particular task you want to delete so it highlights.
-  - At the bottom of that column, click “Delete”.
-  - A message will pop up asking if you are sure you want to delete that task. All scores assigned to that task will also be deleted. Click “Yes” if you want to delete.
-  - If you want to duplicate a task, on the left column, click the particular task you want to duplicate so it highlights.
-  - At the bottom of that column, click “Duplicate”.
-  - The new task will appear on the list with a “2” after it. You can click on that task and edit it as in the "Editing Tasks" instructions. You can give it a new name, new dates, etc.
-  - When you are finished deleting or duplicating tasks, click “Close”.
-=== IV. Copying Tasks From One Class to Another ===
-If you want to have the same task in more than one class, you can easily copy the tasks from one spreadsheet to another.
-  - Choose the class from your Class list that you want your files copied TO.
-  - Then click “Tasks” on the menu bar at the top of your gradebook.
-  - Click “Copy Tasks”.
-  - It will ask you which spreadsheet to copy FROM. Choose the “Class” from the dropdown menu that has the task you want to copy.
-  - Click the “Spreadsheet” that already has your task created.
-  - Click “Next”.
-  - It will ask you which tasks to copy. Check all the tasks you want to copy. There is an option to “Delete original tasks after copying”. Only do so if you created these tasks on the wrong spreadsheet in the first place and are moving them to the correct spreadsheet.
-  - Click “Next”.
-  - It will ask you what kind of scores you want it to show. Click “Raw Score”.
-  - Click “Next”.
-  - Then click “OK”. You should now see the tasks in the new class and you can begin entering grades.
