# 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.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:
```
GET https://help.activenow.io/en/instructor-panel/managing-participant-grades.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.
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.
