Add a member

Open the Roster tab and tap Add Member. Enter the member's first name, last name, and city. Add a state or province; a state is required for a United States hometown. Enter the country, or leave it blank for the United States. Tap Save. FaceDeck then looks up the hometown.

Take or choose a photo

Open a saved member from the Roster tab. Tap Take Photo to use the camera; the first time, iOS asks for camera permission. Line up the person's head and shoulders, take the photo, then tap Use Photo or Retake.

Or tap Choose Photo and pick a photo in the system photo picker. If it shows several people, tap the person you want and tap Next. Review the cutout and tap Use Photo.

Import a class list

Put the file in the Files app, open the Roster tab, and tap Import. Choose the file to see the preview. Ready to Import lists rows FaceDeck can add; Rejected lists rows it cannot add and the reason for each. Tap Import to add the ready members and look up their hometowns. Import only adds members; it never changes or removes a member already in your roster.

Class list file format

Use a UTF-8 comma-separated file. A spreadsheet's “CSV UTF-8” export works. The first line that is not blank is the header row. Header names are matched without regard to uppercase or lowercase letters, spaces, or underscores, so First Name and first_name mean the same thing.

The required columns are first_name, last_name, and city. The state column may be left out, but each United States row needs a state. The country column may be left out; a blank country means the United States. Other columns are ignored.

Separate fields with commas. Put a value in double quotes if it contains a comma, a double quote, or a line break; write a double quote inside a quoted value twice. Lines may end with LF or CRLF. Blank lines are skipped.

A file imports nothing if it is not UTF-8, has no non-blank header row, names a recognized column twice, or lacks a required column. In a file that can be read, a row is rejected if a required value is blank, a United States row has no state, or the same name is already in the roster or on an earlier row ready to import. Names are compared without regard to case or accents.
