The 'Grade Setup Wizard' plugin allows you to perform certain basic tasks in setting the Gradebook quickly and easily. The goal of the plugin is to facilitate the organization of the Gradebook in complex situations. At a logical level, the changes made both in the dashboard and in the formula editors and evaluation schemes are applied in the native Moodle Gradebook, either by creating elements, modifying the organization of categories and subcategories, or creating formulas.
