Showing the result of a calculation as an icon
In this example, we will show the result of a calculation as an icon.
Since our calculation's result may contain decimals and we have to link a single numeric value to a single icon, we will first add a rounding column.
After that, we will be able to add our final icon conversion
In short, these will be the steps:
You can import this example and its configuration with a template.
It will include sample data,columns and the grade type configuration
From your iPad, download and Open in iDoceo > password 1234
Add > Numeric grade > Max. 5, Min. 0
Tap on Rounding and apply the one you need. In our example Round near 1
This will turn a 4.6 into 5 and a 4.4 into 4
Tap now on icons and assign the icons you would like linked to each value
Tap on the header of the original calculation, done
Double tap now on this new column's header and make sure you apply our recently created grade
And this will be the result
From iDoceo's main screen, gear icon (top bar) > Cell editor,calculation > Scroll down and enable Show result as an icon
You will now be able to add this calculation in our grade book
Tap on the rounded average result header, done
Double tap now on this new column's header and make sure the grade type is set to our recently created 0-5 grade. This is where the icon conversions are defined.
This will be the result
Since our calculation's result may contain decimals and we have to link a single numeric value to a single icon, we will first add a rounding column.
After that, we will be able to add our final icon conversion
In short, these will be the steps:
- Configure a grade type with our rounding and the value assigned to each icon
- Add a rounding column in our grade book (calculation column)
- Add an icon conversion that will show the rounding's result as an icon (calculation column)
You can import this example and its configuration with a template.It will include sample data,columns and the grade type configuration
From your iPad, download and Open in iDoceo > password 1234
Configuring our grade type
These steps won't be necessary if you imported the template
From iDoceo's main screen > Three dots menu (center) > Grade types
Add > Numeric grade > Max. 5, Min. 0
This will turn a 4.6 into 5 and a 4.4 into 4
Tap now on icons and assign the icons you would like linked to each value
Adding the rounding column
From the grade book view, we will now add our rounding column.
Double tap now on this new column's header and make sure you apply our recently created grade
Adding the 'conversion into an icon' column
You must first enable the 'Show result as an icon' calculation. It is hidden by defaultFrom iDoceo's main screen, gear icon (top bar) > Cell editor,calculation > Scroll down and enable Show result as an icon
You will now be able to add this calculation in our grade book
Double tap now on this new column's header and make sure the grade type is set to our recently created 0-5 grade. This is where the icon conversions are defined.
You can hide the rounding or average columns at any time (tap and hold on header > hide) and show only the icons
