What is a Roster ID Rule?

Modified on: Tue, Feb 22, 2022 at 12:35 PM

A Roster ID Rule allows Community Leads and Class Leads to dictate how a Roster ID must end in order for participants to access a Class survey, for example, Roster IDs must end with @tubman.k12.edu.

When a Roster is unlocked, the Roster ID Rule helps limit duplicate or incorrect entries by only accepting Roster IDs that match the rule or are already on the Roster. A Roster ID Rule is also communicated to participants when they attempt to access the survey, providing them with clarity just when they need it.

A Roster ID Rule can be applied by individual Class or in bulk for an entire Community.

How do I enable/disable the Roster ID Rule?

From the Classes tab, select the Class(es) you would like to edit by clicking the box next to the Class name
Click on the three dot drop menu on the right side of the screen and click Roster ID Rule.
To enable the Roster ID Rule, toggle the button from disable to enable. You will then be prompted to add the rule under ‘New roster IDs must end with.’ Then click Save Changes.
To disable the Roster ID Rule, toggle the button from enabled to disabled. Then click Save Changes.

How is the Roster ID Rule communicated to participants?

We strongly recommend explicitly sharing with participants what they should use as their Roster ID. To reinforce this communication, when a Roster ID Rule is enabled, participants will see a custom message when they access the survey. For example, if the rule dictates that a Roster ID for a Class must end with @tubman.k12.edu, when students access the survey for that Class, they will see the prompt: Enter your Roster ID ending with “@tubman.k12.edu.”
