Mark individual assignments as Major

I want to request a way to individually tag Assignments as major. There is an option to tag the assignment category as major or minor in onCampus > Settings > Academics > Assignment Types, however, I want to be able to have the option of coding the individual assignment types to indicate whether it is major or minor. The coding could be indicated by color as a visual aide on the assignment calendar. It could also be a check-box on the assignment screen and could be automatically on if the assignment is in a major assignment category. Then I can leave it on or uncheck it based on the assignment status. I would love to have this type of information in a report, ideally filtered by grade or department. It could be viewed by all teachers even if it does not contain assignments from their classes. That way teachers can see what other departments are assigning and if there are any conflicts with other major assignments due for students for example during a break or holiday.

    Yes, please! This would be so much easier.

    Yes! The current parameters are too restrictive and top/down prescriptive. For instance, our English Department has very thoughtfully divided their gradebooks into categories for different skill sets in their discipline—"Reading, "Writing," "Vocabulary," "Grammar," "Engagement"—but, grouped that way, each category comprises a mix of major and minor assessments.
