Assign roll numbers to a whole batch at once

You can assign roll numbers once students have joined a batch. The system suggests roll numbers starting from 1, with the number of digits based on the batch size. For example, in a batch of 5 students numbering starts at 01; in a batch of 100 students it starts at 0001.

Assign roll numbers
