Configure Profile Options for Selecting Valid Grades on Assignments

When you update assignments, the list of grades you can choose from is determined based on the values of two profile options:

Profile Option Description
PER_ENFORCE_VALID_GRADES The default value of this site-level profile option is No.

When the value is No:

  • The user can select from all the grades.

If you set the value of this site-level profile option to Yes:

  • Users can select a grade only from the list that you defined for the job or position:
    • If users select both job and position for the assignment, they can select grades that are valid for the position only.
    • If valid grades are defined for neither job nor position, then users can select from all grades.
PER_DEFAULT_GRADE_FROM_JOB_POSITION The default value of this site-level profile option is No.

When the value is No:

  • The user can select from all the grades.

If you set this site-level profile option to Yes and there's only one valid grade for a job or position:

  • That grade is used by default in the assignment.
    • If an entry grade is defined for a position, then that grade is used by default when the user creates a new assignment.
