In some cases, you may want to manually create a class instead of having it sync from your roster. Classes can be added manually from the Classes menu.

Adding a new class

Click the Add New Class button to begin, then select Add New Class from the dropdown menu.

From the sidebar that appears, assign the class to a location, then give it a name and description.

Pressing Add will create the class and immediately take you to the class edit screen. You can get back to the class edit screen at any time by clicking on the class name from the Classes screen in card view, or the class's row in table view.

From this screen, all attributes of a class can be edited. You can also add teachers and students to the class.

Note: You can only add users who are already part of the roster or have been already defined in the system. New users cannot be added through the class settings.

Adding new students

To add new users, navigate to Users and click on the Add User button. Next, select either Add new student, Import from Google Directory, or Import from CSV.

Add new student allows you to add a student by typing in their email address. Make sure you use their school email address that is associated with their Google Workspace account. You will also need to enter their first and last name.
Import from Google Directory allows you to import students directly from your school's Google Workspace OU structure.
Import from CSV allows you to import students in bulk via CSV. The uploaded CSV file should be in the format: Email, First Name, Last Name. The Email field is mandatory.

Use the search bar to filter the list and find students by name, or click Select OU to filter to a particular OU.

Renaming Manual Classes

Manual classes can be renamed whenever necessary.
This allows for better organization and clarity, especially if class names change or need updating for any reason.
