    4. Select this to show a screen for checking the estimated monthly fee. The number on the button is the number of people you entered.
    The screen for adding students

    There is a limit on how many people you can add at once. If you exceed it, the screen tells you. Students are added without checking whether a student with the same name already exists (because siblings sometimes have the same name). If you added someone twice by mistake, withdraw and then delete the duplicate.

    The role and add-ons you choose apply to everyone you entered. To give different add-ons, add the students separately, or after adding them, change them with [Edit] in the Students screen.

  3. Check the estimated monthly fee and add the students

    The confirmation screen shows the number of people to add, the add-ons to give, and how the estimated monthly fee will change. If adding an add-on partway through the month increases the fee, the pro rata amount billed on the next renewal date is also shown. If everything is correct, select the add button. The added students appear in the Students screen.

    When the number of students on the roster (including people with the teacher role and withdrawn students) exceeds the free limit, a fee applies even without add-ons (Fee Schedule). Everyone you add gets a code, shown in the [Code] column of the Students screen. The code is used for checking in and out at a check-in kiosk, and as the ID for signing in to the Soroban app.

    If you gave the Soroban app account add-on, each student’s ID and password are shown. Once you close this screen, the passwords are never shown again, so before closing it, copy them with [Copy all] and keep a record. If you forget to keep a record, you can generate new passwords. Passwords are set automatically. If you want to set them yourself, generate new passwords after adding the students.

    If some students were added but their Soroban app accounts could not be created, “The following students were added, but their accounts couldn't be created. Create them with “Generate password” in the “Soroban app” tab.” is shown with those students’ names in red. If accounts were created for the other students, this appears on the screen with the IDs and passwords. If no accounts could be created, it appears at the bottom of the confirmation screen, and the only button is [Close].

    Adding students that would increase the fee may not be possible. In that case, the confirmation screen shows the reason, and the add button cannot be selected.

    • “This will increase your fee, so please start your subscription in “Subscription & payments” first.”: The school has no subscription. Please start your subscription first.
    • “Payment hasn't been received, so you can't do anything that increases your fee. Please pay in “Subscription & payments”.”: Payment has stopped (If a payment fails).
    • When the number of enrolled students reaches the limit: the limit is shown. Withdrawn students are not counted.
