Name lists

Update June 2024

We've added a new option - you can now establish Priority pairing in student settings! This handy feature allows you to do some clever coordination and make sure students stay in the same group.

Name lists can be used for the Group maker and the Randomizer widget. With a Basic account, you can save three name lists and with a Pro account, you can save up to 100 lists!

Click Here to open the name list tab in your dashboard.

Create new list

If you press “+ Create new name list”, a screen opens where you can enter a title and type or paste the names from an Excel / Google Sheets document. Make sure you have entered one name per line. When all students have been entered, press the “Create” button to save the list.

Suggestions

Choose from three different lists including 'Numbers 1 till 30', 'Alphabet', and 'Fruits and vegetables'. These options allow you to incorporate a twist into your class, and fast! Instead of typing input into the name list, you can use the suggestions available to create an alternative identifier. This may come in handy when you are establishing groups for a game or in case you would like to keep student names out of a list.

Edit list

Edit the list by pressing the options button on the list. There you can change the title and also add and delete names.

Prevent combinations

Via the options button next to a student's name, you can access the student settings. You can change the name of a student, and you can exclude combinations with other students from the list when using this feature in the group maker widget.

Priority pairings

Via the options button next to a student's name, you can access the student settings. You can change the name of a student, and you can ensure combinations of students from the list when using this feature in the group maker widget.

Starred name list

If you have a list that you need often, we recommend you to “star” this list. By pressing the star next to the title, the widgets that use name lists will automatically select the "starred" list when the widget is launched. You can star only one name list.
