2.8. Viewing Roster Edit History

This scenario shows a professor who views his Roster Edit History. The Roster Edit History feature is located in: View -> Roster Edit History in the toolbar. This feature compares the local roster to the campus roster and identifies:

1. Students in the local roster that are not in the campus roster
2. Students in the campus roster that are not in the local roster
3. Students that contain different information between the two rosters

It works as a mid-term sync feature to show users what has been edited throughout their gradebook use.

Upon viewing the Roster Edit History, the gradebook displays the original campus roster the professor attained with color coded indicators. A key is given to the right of the student list as a key to what the colors indicate. A student whose name is highlighted in green has been added to the local roster. A student whose name is highlighted in red has been deleted from the local roster. A student whose name has a notification icon beside it indicates that this student's information has been changed in the local roster.

For example, the professor has added Jerry Rodin to his local roster (highlighted in green), as well as edited his student information (indicated with the icon). To gain details on what changes had occurred in Jerry's information, the professor clicks on the notification icon beside his name. Clicking this icon allows the professor to view Jerry's information history.

The professor views the original student information Jerry was added with. He also has the ability to view the edits made on specific dates. To view the change made on December 12th, the professor clicks on the corresponding date, where the changes made are highlighted in yellow.

The user can view that he changed Gerald's name to Jerry.

Another scenario below (Figure 28d) shows the instructor clicking Arnav's name to see how his student information has changed on his local roster. He notices that Arnav's Status has changed to Dropped. Knowing this, the professor decides to delete Arnav from his roster by right clicking to Delete a student.
