# Entering Participant Grades

The grades feature lets you record and track participant grades directly in ActiveNow.

To enable grades, go to *Settings* → *General* → *Additional features* → *E-register* and turn on the grades option.

The E-register supports two types of grades:

* **Non-descriptive grades** — numeric or letter grades (e.g. 5, A), visible to the participant in the Client Panel.
* **Descriptive grades** — short text notes about a participant's progress (e.g. "Excellent pronunciation"), also visible in the Client Panel.

## Adding grades as an instructor

Click any lesson in ***My calendar*** to open the ***E-register***, then go to the ***Progress*** tab.

Click ***Add*** in the grades section, enter a comment and value, then confirm — **participants receive a notification** and can view their grades in the Client Panel.

## Adding grades as an administrator

Open the course details and go to the ***E-register*** tab — there you'll find the grades section. Add a new grade using the ***Add*** button directly in the grades section. Click a participant's name to view all their grades — from there you can **edit** or **delete** them.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.activenow.io/en/instructor-panel/managing-participant-grades.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
