# How Can I Give Instructors Their Own View of Their Class Roster?

You give instructors a personalized roster view by filtering their default dashboard to only the classes they teach, so they see their own students without digging through a shared spreadsheet. On **Jestor**, this runs through permissioned, filtered access to class rosters.

A single shared spreadsheet shown to every instructor forces each one to manually filter through classes that aren't theirs just to find their own roster.

## What a shared roster spreadsheet costs

- Instructors manually filtering through classes that aren't theirs
- Extra clicks and time spent finding relevant information in a crowded view
- No sense of a personal workspace adapted to each instructor's own classes
- Risk of an instructor missing something relevant buried among unrelated classes

## How a personalized instructor roster works

- An instructor's default **view** filters automatically to their own classes
- Permissions determine what additional data they can see beyond their own scope
- The personalized view surfaces what's relevant without manual filtering
- Switching to a broader view remains possible when permissions allow it

## Why Jestor fits this use case

- Personalized defaults remove the manual filtering every instructor would otherwise do
- Relevant information surfaces immediately without navigating a crowded shared view
- Every instructor gets a workspace that feels tailored to their own responsibilities
- This scales from a few instructors to a school with many teaching staff
