To edit the list of comments: To sort or edit the comments, press on the blue pop up menu above the lower list. To insert the student's first name into a comment, use the ^ symbol. An additional item in the menu allows you to create a plug-in of the list to make it easy to distribute it to others. For additional information, see Using Plug-ins. To change the order of comments, press on a comment number and drag.
To apply and remove comments: To apply a comment, click the item in the lower list. Up to six comments can be applied. To remove a comment, click the comment's number in the upper list. Use the small menu above the upper list to erase comments, copy comments from the prior term or copy comments to all students in the class.
To have comments automatically selected: To automatically apply up to six comments, click the Auto-Select button. Easy Grade Pro will select the comments and add them to the upper list. Be sure to check them to ensure that the comments are appropriate. If necessary, click a comment number to remove it from the list. To set the rules for the automatic selection of comments, use the small menu above the upper list and choose Edit Auto-select comments. The Auto-select Comments window will open where the rules for the automatic selection can be entered.
