Select the 'Filter By' option, and then the 'Filter Value 1 and 2' options where applicable. If you selected ‘Static List’, click the ‘Go' button to complete the search and display students in the ‘Choose from these Students' list. To allocate students to this custom roll, select the students by clicking with your mouse. Holding down the 'Shift' key while clicking on your options permits a range selection, while holding down the 'Ctrl' key while clicking enables the selection of multiple students. Use the arrow buttons to move the selected students to the 'Students Allocated to Custom Roll' list. |
Owner | Choose the teacher or non-teacher who will be the owner of the custom roll. |
