How do I hide a grade until a specified date?

This shows you how to use the Grade item settings in Gradebook Setup to hide the grades from participants, for a particular assignment, until a date of your choosing.  The settings used are in Gradebook Setup and this action will NOT hide the grade item, or assessment activity, itself.  It will only hide any grades you allocate to each student.  The students will see the activity but will not see their grades until the date you have set.  If you wish to hide the grade item, or assessment activity itself, from the student view, you must do that in the activity settings.
