Align CANVAS Assignments with Infinite Campus Categories

Assignments received from an outside program (CANVAS) may arrive in Infinite Campus without categories or grading alignments. Teachers must select categories and grading alignments for scores and grades to report correctly on Infinite Campus.  

Assignments can be aligned after they have been received through the Uncategorized Assignments list or aligned by default based on settings in the Non-Campus Assignment Defaults tool.
