GB2 Final Grade Submission
Design
Components
- SmartSite Gradebook2 Institutional Adviser (GB2IA)
- Final Grading Tool (FGT)
- AFS
Process
- GB2IA makes a POST request to the FGT
- The request's content contains the grading information encoded in CSV and the siteId, which is used as the file name to stored the data
- FGT writes the CSV grading data to SmartSite's AFS final grade location
- Files are versioned (i.e. resubmissions will move existing files to increasing numbered versions and will replace the existing grade file)
- FGT finishes the request by responding with a http status code
- GB2IA inspects the response from FGSES and finished the initial client request
- The client inspects the the response and if there are no errors, the client opens up the FGT in an pop-up window
