Adding New Rosters

This section explains how to add a new roster.

Note: You can only create rosters from students associated with your school or district.

To add a roster:

1. From the Rosters task menu on the dashboard, select Add Roster. The Add Roster form appears. For more information about using record forms, the section Navigating Record Forms.

2. Select a school.
   

   Alert: Each user-defined roster can only be associated with one school.

3. On the Add Roster form, add a roster name and select a teacher.

4. Decide how you want to add students:

• Quick Roster tab (search adds students automatically, manually remove students to edit)
  Use the Quick Roster tab to create a roster from a group of students. Once you select the search criteria, all students who meet those criteria are automatically added to the roster after you select Create Quick Roster. You can remove students manually by selecting next to individual students or select Remove All from the top of the grid. Selecting Save creates your roster.

• Student Search tab (search finds students that you add and remove manually)
  Use the Student Search tab for a more traditional search function, including the option to find specific students by ID or name. After you return results, select to add individuals or select Add All from the top of the grid.

Tip: For fewer students, limit your search by adding more criteria. Expand the Additional Fields section to add student information criteria as available.

5. Optional: After results appear under Selected Students, change the information that displays about students.

• Show more information drop-down: Select or clear additional columns under Available/Selected Students grids.

Note: Selecting Former Students shows students in italics who are no longer associated with the schooland the date they left. You can still add these students to your roster. Once a student has been added to a roster, the student will remain in the roster even if the student is no longer enrolled in the school.

• Use the Filter field to limit students to those who match the text you enter.
  This keyword search only finds text in the grid. Be aware if you enter 11 to find students in 11th grade, any content with the text 11 will display. This could potentially pull in results you did not intend to find.

After saving, rosters must be changed from the Edit Rosters screen.
