Custom Rolls
Overview
The Staff Kiosk ‘Custom Rolls’ program allows you to:
Create and mark a roll for a custom group of students.
Create recurring Custom Rolls for a custom group of students.
Search for existing Custom Rolls using multiple filters (at the top of the screen).
Print a list of Custom Rolls, including attendance summaries.
Print a list of students within a Custom Roll, including special conditions and alerts.
Communicate (via notification, email, or SMS) to parents and students within a Custom Roll.
Allocate administrator rights to other staff for a Custom Roll.
Cancel an existing Custom Roll.
This program can be accessed by navigating to the Staff Kiosk Rollcall menu, then selecting ‘Custom Rolls’.
'Custom Rolls' is the default name used by TASS, however, each school has the ability to rename it to one of their own choosing in Custom Roll Parameters (Setup). All TASS Knowledge Base documentation refers to this program as 'Custom Rolls'.
Custom Rolls do not affect Attendance data, and absence records are not created if students are marked absent from the Custom Roll.
Did you know that Custom Rolls can be downloaded to the Staff Orbit app, marked offline, and synced to Staff Kiosk when back in range? For more information, refer to ‘What is Staff Orbit Offline Mode?’.
