Combined Roll Marking

Last updated

Combined roll marking lets a teacher who takes several rolls in the same session — for example two composite classes together, or a shared teaching space — mark them all on one screen instead of opening each roll separately. It must be enabled for your school — contact support to have it turned on. Once enabled, any change takes effect from the next day.

Combined roll marking lets a teacher who takes several rolls in the same session — for example two composite classes together, or a shared teaching space — mark them all on one screen instead of opening each roll separately. It must be enabled for your school — contact support to have it turned on. Once enabled, any change takes effect from the next day.

How it works

When combined roll marking is on and you have more than one class in the same session, the Mark Attendance roll list adds an extra entry for that session:

  1. Open Attendance > Mark Attendance and pick the date as usual.
  2. Where two or more of your classes share a session, an additional row appears named Combined (2 rolls) (or however many rolls share the session), alongside the individual class rows. Its location shows all the rooms involved, separated by "/".
  3. Click the combined row to open one roll containing the students from all of those classes, and mark them together.
  4. Submit as normal — each student's mark is saved back against their own class.

The combined row's progress indicator reflects all of its rolls: it shows complete only when every roll in the session is fully marked, and partially complete when any of them has been started. You can still open and mark each class individually if you prefer.

If the same student appears in more than one of the combined classes, they are only listed once.

Marking several classes at once on Teacher Home

Separately from the combined-roll feature, intermediate and secondary (timetabled) schools get a multi-class selector on the Teacher Home Attendance tab:

  1. Open the Attendance tab and click Options.
  2. Select Class is a multi-select at timetabled schools — tick each class you want to display. Use the clear button to reset the selection.
  3. The students of every selected class are shown together, grouped under a heading per class, and you can mark and submit them in one pass.

Notes

  • Combined roll marking applies to the staff website. Marking combined rolls in the mobile app is controlled by a separate setting — contact support if you need it enabled there as well.
  • After the feature is switched on or off for your school, the roll list only changes from the following day.
