Using the Custom List feature during Roll Call
Learn how staff can quickly account for and submit a list of students that do not belong on their SIS-synced roster(s)
The Custom List feature is available to use while accounting for students by class in Roll Call; and allows any user to view and submit a list of student(s) they account for that do not belong to one of their SIS-synced classes. This feature is available to any user who may account for students that are not with one of their teachers during the alarm. The Custom list will automatically update and can be submitted for administrator review like any other class throughout the Roll Call process.
Using the Custom List feature on the web/desktop application:
- When there is an active alarm, log in to your account and navigate to the alarm details either from the homepage or Rapid Alarm dashboard.

- Next, navigate into Roll Call details for the alarm
- From the My Classes tab, scroll down to the bottom of the class list on the left-hand side of the page and click on Custom list to view any students that you might have already accounted for that do not belong to any of your SIS-synced rosters.

Note: This list may be empty if you have not yet accounted for any students individually from the Students tab.

- To account for students that do not belong to any of your classes, navigate to the Students tab and filter/sort to find and account for students accordingly, then navigate back to Custom list in the My Classes tab to view the list has automatically updated

- Your Custom list can be submitted like any other class for administrator review by clicking “Submit class” near the bottom left corner of the page, and then clicking “Confirm.”
- Custom list (and classes) can be submitted as many times as needed to accommodate for any student accountability updates that are made throughout Roll Call.
