Query parameters

Parameters
updateMask

string (FieldMask format)

Optional. Mask that identifies which fields on the rubric to update. This field is required to do an update. The update fails if invalid fields are specified. There are multiple options to define the criteria of a rubric: the sourceSpreadsheetId and the criteria list. Only one of these can be used at a time to define a rubric.

The rubric criteria list is fully replaced by the rubric criteria specified in the update request. For example, if a criterion or level is missing from the request, it is deleted. New criteria and levels are added and an ID is assigned. Existing criteria and levels retain the previously assigned ID if the ID is specified in the request.

The following fields can be specified by teachers:

  • criteria
  • sourceSpreadsheetId

This is a comma-separated list of fully qualified names of fields. Example: "user.displayName,photo".
previewVersion

enum (PreviewVersion)

Optional. The preview version of the API. This must be set in order to access new API capabilities made available to developers in the Preview Program.
