Review & Action Terms and Icons

Jobs > Roster Sync Jobs > Review & Action

Below are the terms and icons admins will see when performing Review & Action for a sync job. A sync analysis compares the SIS classes and rosters in a job to the current state in Google Classroom and makes recommendations. Admins can review these recommendations via Review & Actions and stage and commit actions in Classroom. During Review & Action, admins can perform several distinct action types, which are listed below.

Note: If using Teacher Review, some action types will not be seen by admins since teachers are actioning classes themselves.

New class to be created
Selecting this action creates an invitation to teach a Classroom class (a.k.a. a PROVISIONED class). This invitation will be visible on the Teacher's Classroom home screen. It will be visible to students once the teacher clicks Accept and the class becomes ACTIVE. If the teacher chooses to click Decline for the class, the class will enter the DECLINED state.  

Class to be updated
When selected, the roster or a field within Classroom is changed, depending on the job settings. You can preview the specific changes in the sync analysis interface.

Class Changes
This icon indicates a class change. Admins can review changes and approve or exclude classes from sync.

Class exception to be saved
In Class Changes, if you select a class and click Exclude and Stage Class Exception, the class moves to Staged Action and displays this icon.

Once committed and the sync job runs, the class appears in Excluded Classes in Review & Action. During this and future syncs, the class will not change in Classroom.

Link to existing class
If the analysis detects candidate matches in Classroom, you can establish a link to the existing class. This link ensures that the roster syncs for that class in the future. Linking a class may also add/remove students during the sync. This change happens when the teacher's current roster and Classroom roster differ.

Class to be excluded for this sync
This option is available when reviewing candidate matching classes in Classroom. It can be helpful if decision-making information is lacking, as it gives you the option to re-evaluate in later analysis.
