Right now, in Bb, in the Assessment side of things, Bb is showing numbers in five decimal points, which is too much (and a bit confusing) for most of our instructors. Request for ability to set limits to decimal places, i.e., to two decimal points only. Give us this ability to mollify our faculty community.
Thank you!

This would be a nice customization.
Yes please! We get complaints about 5 decimal spaces frequently. If you put a ticket in to BtBb, the answer is something along the lines of "functioning as designed, please submit a community idea if you would like this changed".
I personally think 2 trailing decimals should be default and then adding an option to add more would be great. Who at Blackboard thought this was a good idea to force 5 trailing decimals? How would this be a good idea?
I concur with this idea.
I also agree with the idea of having control, to set limits to decimal places as this is highly desired by our faculty. And also there should be an option in admin dashboard whether or not to enforce it across all courses.

With the addition of limiting the decimals in the grade center column to 2 places, I would like to suggest that we also build in a feature that allows the instructor to allow rounding up or not for the column at that time. Yes, I have some professors who do not believe in rounding off the cumulative scores/percentages so an 89.9991 is a B not an A in that classroom. They are upfront with the students from day 1 so it would be good if we can accommodate those faculty too.
