Adding documentation to close out bug 2122.  This tex file will not compile, but this new committed code does compile.  The original tex file without the new code seems to cause errors.

A \textbf{Score Upload Form} is a page in LON-CAPA that is technically a blank problem. This feature is so that if you assign and grade work outside of the LON-CAPA system, you can enter the students' points into a Score Upload Form page so that these points will be calculated by the system as well. You can insert a Score Upload Form into
your course, and use it to enter student's scores for an exam, project, or
any other assignment. The easiest way to do this is via the \textbf{Grading} screen \ref{Course_Student_Grade_Override}, which allows you to upload a CSV file containing students'
scores.

To create a Score Upload Form, do the following:

\begin{enumerate}

\item Log in to the course you wish to add a Score Upload Form to.

\item Select \textbf{Course Contents} on the Inline Menu or 
\includegraphics[width=0.03\paperwidth]{docs}
\textbf{Edit course contents}
within Main Menu. 

\item At the buttom of the \textbf{Course Contents} screen, 
click \fbox{Special Documents}. Next click on
\includegraphics[width=0.03\paperwidth]{scoreupfrm}
\textbf{Score Upload Form}.
\item In the pop up window, type the name of the new page and click OK.

\end{enumerate}

The page will be added to the end of the current course document folder.

\begin{enumerate}
\item Navigate to the problem.  Select the inline menu option to 'Modify parameter settings for this resource.'
\item In the column titled 'For Resource,' set the problem weight.
\item Return to the problem and choose the inline menu option to 'Modify user grades for this assessment resource.'
\item Choose the option to upload scores.
\item Browse your computer to find the file with your students' scores.  The file can be a CSV file, a text file with values separated by a semicolon, or a tabulator separated file.  The file can contain unnecessary data.  However, it must contain one column that is either the username or student ID number and another column that is either the number of points or the partial credit factor (for example, .8 for 80 percent).  If your students are in multiple LON-CAPA domains, then you must include a domain column. Optionally, you can include a column for problem status (for example, to excuse the problem or reset the problem status) and a column to define the number of attempts (tries).
\item Click the button to upload scores.
\item For each mandatory and optional column, match it to the appropriate field.  Columns that contain unnecessary data for LON-CAPA can be left alone.
\item Click the button to 'Assign Grades.'
\end{enumerate}
