If the Main administrator wants to perform a bulk upload for all their school(s), go to Management > People & Rosters and select the one you’d like to use. This is the easiest way to get all of your schools, adults in their different roles, classrooms, and students rostered into Typing Agent. There will be no need to follow the examples below, but you may opt to read them for guidance because the same principles apply.
Adding Classes
Classes help you organize students into classrooms, assign class-level work, review progress, and manage rosters. Teachers and administrators can create classes when their role and school permissions allow it.
Open the Classes Page
Sign in to your Typing Agent Version 6 account.
Select Classes from the left navigation menu.
The Classes page displays:
Total classes
Students enrolled
Students who may need attention
Class status and recent activity
Available filters and search tools
Add a Class
Step 1: Select Add Class
Select + Add Class in the upper-right corner of the Classes page.
A menu will open with four ways to create classes. Choose the method that works best for you.
Step 2: Choose a Class-Creation Method
Add one class
Use this option when you need to create a single class manually.
Select Add one class.
Enter the class name.
Select the appropriate grade. (We assign that grade-level keyboarding curriculum to this class automatically.)
Choose the teacher who will manage the class. (If you haven’t created a teacher yet, please do so using that Staff button to add one or more. By taking this step first, you can then assign the classroom to the correct teacher right away.)
Review the information.
Select the option to Create & Add Students or Create Class to save it.
Best for: Adding one new classroom or creating a class during the school year.
Add many classes
Use this option to create several classes at the same time.
Select Add many classes.
Enter or paste the class names.
Place each class name on a separate line.
Complete any requested grade or teacher information.

Upload a CSV
Use this option when class information is already organized in a spreadsheet.
Select Upload a CSV.
Prepare the class information in the required CSV format.
Save or export the spreadsheet as a
.csvfile.Upload the file to Typing Agent.
Review the information Typing Agent finds in the file.
Correct any missing or incorrectly matched information.
Confirm the upload to create the classes.
Best for: Creating a large number of classes from an existing school spreadsheet.
Before uploading: Check that class names, grade levels, and teacher information are spelled consistently. Clean data helps prevent duplicate or incorrectly assigned classes.
Sync from Google Classroom
Use this option to create Typing Agent classes from connected Google Classroom courses.
Select Sync from Google Classroom.
Sign in or confirm the connected Google account when prompted.
Review the available Google Classroom courses.
Select the courses you want to add.
Confirm the sync.
Review the newly created classes and student rosters.

Google Classroom must be connected and permitted by your school before courses can be synced.
Find a Class
The filters above the class table help you narrow the list.
Filter by Grade
Open the Grade menu and select a specific grade level.
Filter by Roster Source
Use Roster Source to find classes created through:
Manual entry
Google Classroom
Clever (District-based accounts only)
ClassLink
Filter by Status
Use the Status menu to view classes that are:
On track
Needs attention
Not started
Archived
Search for a Class
Use the search box to enter a:
Class name
Teacher name
Active filters remain visible so you can see what is limiting the class list. Clear or change a filter when a class does not appear as expected.
Open a Class
Select the class row or the expand arrow beside the class name.
The expanded class view may include:
Student roster
Class join code
Assigned curriculum

A class join code allows students to connect themselves to the correct class when join codes are enabled.
From the class code area, you can:
Copy the code
Display it full-screen for the classroom board
Reset the code
Enable the code
Disable the code
Resetting a code makes the previous code unavailable. Share the new code with students who still need to join.

Archive Class — Remove the class from active use.
Restore — Return an archived class to active use.
Available options may vary according to your role and school permissions.
Archive a Class
Archiving Is Not Deleting
Archiving removes a class from active rotation and prevents students from using it until the class is restored. It does not permanently erase the class or its historical information.
Before archiving:
Confirm that students no longer need to use the class.
Open the class action menu.
Select Archive Class.
Read the confirmation message carefully.
Confirm the action.
To bring the class back, filter the list to show archived classes and select Restore from the class action menu.

Use the checkboxes beside class rows to select multiple classes.
After selecting classes, the bulk-action bar can be used for supported actions such as:

Archiving
Review the selected classes before completing a bulk action.

Helpful Tips
Use clear, recognizable class names, such as Grade 4 – Garcia or Keyboarding Period 3.
Check for an existing class before creating a new one.
Use roster-source filters when troubleshooting a synced class.
Expand a class row for a quick overview before opening the full roster.
Archive classes that are no longer active instead of leaving them in the main class list.
Read confirmation messages carefully before resetting join codes, archiving classes, or completing bulk actions.
