Managing Custom Rosters

Updated on

This article will walk through how to create/manage Custom Rosters.

What is a Custom Roster? This feature allows you to take the student rostering data you are importing into Kelvin Pulse and create/manage a whole new set of Custom Roster(s) and assign them to user(s) for use within Kelvin Pulses.  

How is this useful?  This allows those users who do not normally have any students rostered to them (such as a school counselor, psychologist, speech pathologist, etc.) to have their own Student Roster within Kelvin Pulse.

Note:  You must be a System Admin been in a Staff Group that has been given the permission to Manage Custom Rosters.
