Want to edit, delete or see all your rubrics? Well, you've come to the right place! There are more things you can do with rubrics both directly in the Kaizena add-on and through the new Kaizena Dashboard.

Managing Rubrics directly on Add-on

Managing Rubrics on the Dashboard

If you haven't added any skills to the conversation, and you don't have a rubric template yet, you can set up an empty rubric. Once you've clicked "+ Rubric", click "Empty":

You'll see an empty rubric appear. Click "+ Add skill" to add your first skill:

Select the skill from the list to add it to the rubric. Then click the pencil icon to add a custom rating:

Alternatively, you can close the rubric and add some skills to the conversation. Any skills that you add to the document outside of the rubric will be added to the rubric.

If you add the same skill more than once, the scores will be averaged. If you use the pencil icon (see image above) to add a rating, this will overwrite the average score, and will display above the average:

The skill level description shown in the rubric will match the assigned score.

If you're happy with the set of skills you've added to the rubric, you can save the rubric to use on other Google Docs. Just click "Save as template":

Once you've added your rubric, there are several ways for you to modify it.

Adding new skills in Kaizena will automatically add them to the rubric, but you can also add a skill directly to the rubric: just click "+ Add Skill" at the top:

Select the skill the way you usually would, then add a custom rating (click on the pencil icon):

You can remove individual skills from your rubric. Just click the garbage can to remove a skill from the rubric:

This will not affect any skills you added outside the rubric.

Have a co-teacher or would like to share the same rubric with another Kaizena user? Here's how to share a Rubric with other Kaizena users.

To share a Rubric, you will need to do the following:

2. Click on "Make Public"

3. Click on "Copy URL" or highlight and copy the URL that appears:

4. Give the URL to the Kaizena user(s) that would like to have a copy of your Rubric. For instance, you can email the URL to the Kaizena user(s) or drop it as a text comment on a shared Google Doc with the user(s).

Once your co-teacher, colleagues or the other Kaizena users have saved a copy of your Rubric into their accounts, you can stop allowing other users to use your Rubric by clicking "Make Private":

Note that this will only prevent other Kaizena users from using the Rubric URL. If a shared Rubric has already been added to a Kaizena user's account, this will not remove the Rubric from the other Kaizena user's account.

To add a shared rubric to your Kaizena account, you'll need to first make sure you have the URL of the Rubric. Then:

3. Viola! You've added a shared Rubric to your Kaizena account. Now you're able to see and use the Rubric and all the Skills on the shared Rubric in your feedback:

To remove a shared Rubric from your collection, click on the shared Rubric and "Remove from collection":
