Rows in these tables represent Columns in the Grade Centre views. The one focused on in this guide is the \u2018Shown in All Grade Centre Views\u2019 table. The rows in this table are displayed in every Grade Centre View. Student information including First Name and Last Name are part of this table. Rows from other tables can be dragged and dropped into this table so that they appear in every Grade Centre View. &nbsp; Freeze and Unfreeze Columns Grade Centre Columns in the Shown in All Grade Centre Views table can be frozen in place so they remain in position on the left side of the screen while scrolling through other data. The columns containing students\u2019 first and last names are frozen by default. Instructors can freeze any other columns in this table. To freeze a column in all of the Grade Centre Views: 1.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 If the Column is not in the Shown in All Grade Centre Views table, drag it to that table. 2.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Drag the dark grey bar down below the desired row or drag the row above the dark grey bar. 3.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Click Submit to save changes. &nbsp; To unfreeze a column in any of the Grade Centre Views: 1.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Drag the dark grey bar above the desired row, or drag the row below the dark grey bar. 2.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Click Submit to save changes. The row can also be removed from the \u2018Shown in All Grade Centre Views\u2019 table to unfreeze it. &nbsp; Hiding Columns from staff Columns can be hidden, preventing them from displaying in the Grade Centre.
