Adding ranks and sections

So you've created your department roster and you are now ready to build it out with ranks and sections. We designed FiveRoster to be seamless but also intelligent when it comes to ranks. Before adding ranks to your roster, please ensure you've read about static & dynamic callsigns.

Example roster rank layout

Adding a new rank to the roster

1

Navigate to your roster editor page

From the dashboard, click "Manage" on the server panel where your roster resides to be taken to the roster editor page.

2

Click on the "Add Rank" button in the "Roster Ranks" section

By clicking on this button, you'll be prompted with a window to fill out your rank information and add it to the roster.

Field Types

• Name: This is the name of your rank i.e. (Director, Assistant Director, Trooper II)

• Insignia: This is where you can choose a unique insignia for this rank. These are predefined and we are continually adding new ones. If you don't want to use an insignia, select "No Insignia" from the dropdown options.

• Callsign Prefix: This is the prefix for your callsign i.e. (1L-, K-, FD-). The prefix is optional as callsign numerics are taken care of by FiveRoster.

• Callsign Type: This is where you can choose if you want the rank to use a static callsign and be singular or use a dynamic callsign and have multiple positions open for the same rank.

• Discord Roles: This dropdown contains a list of roles within your Discord server. This is what roles players will be given upon being promoted to this rank or being appointed to this rank.

• Access Roles: This allows you choose what kind of access you want this rank to have on the public facing roster. To learn more about roster access levels, click here.

If you want to see how this looks on the public facing roster, you can scroll to the bottom fo the page and click on the "Preview Roster" button.

Adding a new rank section to the roster

Rank sections allow you to professionally organise your ranks into specific sections i.e. (Department Command, Lower Command, Supervisors).

To create a rank section, click on the "Add Section" button in the "Roster Ranks" area of the editor page and you'll be prompted to provide a name for your section.

Once you've added it to the roster you can move ranks and sections around by left clicking and dragging the three lines to the left of each row in the table.
