Creating a list based on IDs is a great way to filter a list to specific recipients that don't otherwise share a common attribute (such as grade level, building, etc.)
To begin, you'll need to choose a Call List that has already been created and saved and that has an ID column mapped.
After clicking on the Call List you wish to filter from, toggle the option for Select IDs in the top left above the Filters section.
Using Bulk Select IDs
To start selecting IDs to include in your list, first click into a student or staff list that should already contain those students, and toggle the option for Select IDs in the top left above the Filters section.
After toggling Select IDs, you'll need to make sure the proper ID column is selected. In most cases a Student ID or Staff ID column will be the appropriate choice.
Select the Bulk Select IDs text beneath the dropdown where you selected the IDs. You have the choice of either:
Pasting IDs (from a column in a file, or a list with commas)
Uploading a file (a csv or tsv where you get to select the column that contains the needed IDs)
Once you've completed either choice, select the Bulk select IDs button, the system will give you a progress bar. Once the progress bar completes the system will provide you with list of unfound IDs to view or download.
Select the Bulk select IDs button to be taken back to your list to Create List From Selected, or chose Send Alert to Selected IDs to be taken back to Alert Center to use this group for a one off alert you may need to send.

Selecting the IDs
To start selecting IDs to include in your list, first click into a student or staff list that should already contain those students, and toggle the option for Select IDs in the top left above the Filters section.
After toggling Select IDs, you'll need to make sure the proper ID column is selected.
In most cases a Student ID or Staff ID column will be the appropriate choice.
A list of checkboxes will appear next to each row once the Select ID toggle is enabled.
As you select rows, you can also utilize the search box or filters to find specific contact rows. If multiple rows have the same ID, they will all be selected if you checkmark any entry. This is in place to ensure that multiple contact entries associated with one student are included.
Once you have selected the necessary IDs, you can either save your list for future use by clicking Create List From Selected, or utilize your selection as a single use list by clicking Send Alert to Select ID
Send a One Time Alert to Select IDs
After clicking Send Alert to Selected IDs, you'll be taken back to the Alerts Center, with a Recipient List already selected.
The formating of the list name showing will be:
Single use list (from "Call List name here" by "User Name")
Now that you are back in the Alerts Center you can choose the Channels the alert is being sent out on.
