You can click on it to get a hardcopy or text file (in pdf format) of a roll sheet or, even, a historical roll for the class. The roll sheet is the equivalent of a paper roll (students’ names in a blank grid). The historical roll is a record of all the rolls marked for the class from the start of the year to the date of printing.
