Activity Submit (optional)

A guide to managing the optional Activity Submit feature, attempt limits, and scoring policies.
By default, ChartFlow allows instructors to Review & Grade Student submissions at any time.

With the Activity Submit feature enabled, Students are required to Submit their Activity for Grading before Instructors can review their documentation.

Instructors may grant one or multiple attempts. Within the Grading dashboard, you can also grant additional attempts for individual students.
If your program would like to enable the Activity Submit feature,
please contact us at [email protected].
 

How to Create an Activity with Activity Submit

 
  1. Ensure a course is created, as activities can only be added within a course. For detailed instructions, please refer to our Courses Guide.
  2. Navigate to your Home page and click "Courses" from the sidebar.
  3. Find your course and click Manage Course.
  4. Click the Add Activity drop-down and select New Activity.
  5. Inside the form, locate the "No Submit Button" toggle. Once Switched on it becomes "Require Submit Button".
  6. After enabling Multiple Attempts, you can select the number of attempts and your Scoring Policy (Highest, Latest, First, or Average Score).
  7. Complete the remaining fields in the activity form and press Save.
 

How Students Submit Their Assignments

 
  1. As a student, once you have finished documenting your work, locate the Return to Activity button on the top right of the patient header.
  2. Once back on the main Activity Page, click the blue Submit Activity button. (Work is auto-saved, so you can return and submit later if needed!)
  3. Confirm the submission. If Multiple Attempts are allowed, a Start New Attempt button will appear in the top left.
 

How to Grade with Activity Submit

 
  1. Find the activity you wish to grade and click Grade & Manage.
  2. You are now In the grading dashboard.
  3. The Dashboard will display student names, submission status, and attempts.
  4. At the top of the dashboard, you will also see the following buttons:
    🔘 Bulk Reopen: Reopens the activity for everyone in the course at once.
    📥 Export: Allows you to download all current grades to a CSV file.
  5. Locate the Actions column next to a student's name to manage their individual progress:
    🔓 Reopen Assignment: Allows a student back into an existing attempt (Note: Only appears if they have already submitted).
    ➕ Grant Attempts: Give an individual student more attempts if they reached the limit.
    📄 View Details: Opens a window showing every attempt the student has submitted. This is where you can actually see the student's work and grade each individual attempt.
  6. Find the patient chart column for the student you wish to grade.
  7. If the student has submitted the activity, there will be a button that says Submitted. If they are still working, it will say In Progress. If the student never opened the patient, it will say Not Started.
  8. Click the Submitted button or the In Progress button to enter the student's chart.
  9. You will enter the students chart where you can see everything the student charted.
  10. On The bottom you will see a grading box. There you can type in a letter or number grade and a comment underneath.
  11. You will see two sets of arrows at the top of the grading box where you can navigate quickly:
    • ↔️ Patient Arrows: Use these to flip through the different patients completed by the current student you are viewing.
    • 👥 Student Arrows: Use these to jump to the next or previous student in the Activity.
  12. When finished, select Grading Dashboard on the top right of the patient header to return.
  13. ✨ New Feature (Oct 2025): You can now Export Grades to CSV and provide feedback using full Rich Text Formatting!
⚠️ Important Note on Attempt Limits:
Please note if you change the number of attempts in the Activity Details (not on the student's name in the grading section), the number of attempts for your current students won't change—only for future students that join the course.

To update attempts for existing students, please use the Grant Attempts button in the Grading Dashboard.
