The roster page

Roster is the list of everyone you might pair. It's split in two: the member list on the left — searchable and filterable — and, when you click someone, their page on the right with everything you can do to that person. The line under the heading sums the roster up at a glance: "Status is shown for the week of Aug 10 · 24 active · 3 invited · 2 paused …".

Status looks one week ahead

Statuses are computed for the next week, not today — so a pause that starts next Monday already shows as paused. What you see is what the next round of pairings will use.

Statuses

Status	Meaning
Active	Accepted their invitation; in the pairings.
Invited	Invitation sent, no answer yet. Not paired, receives nothing further.
Paused	Temporarily out — until a date, or until someone resumes them.
Removed	Permanently out, history kept. Can be put back.
Declined	Said no to the invitation. Never paired, never emailed again.
No email	On the roster but unpairable — there's no address to send their match to.

Every list row shows the person's status; their page adds the detail — pause dates ("paused Jan 6 – Feb 3"), a scheduled pause, or a personal pace ("paired every other week").

Finding people

The bar above the list searches by name or email, narrows by status and — if you've recorded teams — by team, and sorts by name, email, team, or status. Fifty rows show per page, and your search, filters, and sort stay put as you page through and as you click from person to person — working down a filtered list never loses your place.

Adding one person

When nobody is selected, the right-hand pane holds the Add one person form: Full name (required), email and Team optional, then Add. You land on the new person's page.

• With an email address, the person is invited immediately: "Added Ada — they will be paired once they confirm by email."
• Without one, they're simply on the roster (and never paired).

For a whole list at once, use Add people in bulk — see Adding people in bulk.

Invitation limit

Invitations are capped at 50 per 24 hours to protect deliverability. A bigger first import will tell you how many remain; try again tomorrow, or ask the site admin to lift the cap for a day.

A person's page

Click anyone in the list and their page opens alongside it, organized into sections:

Details — name, email, team, and free-form notes (only you see the notes). Changing the email address resets consent: the new address gets a fresh invitation and the person is out of the pairings until they accept again. A new address never inherits an old yes. If a save is rejected — say, a typo'd address — the form keeps what you typed.

Invitation — shown while their invitation is unanswered, with a Resend the invite email button. (If they declined, this section says so instead: that choice is theirs to change from their personal link.)

Pauses — takes someone out temporarily:

• Pause from — defaults to this week; set a future date to schedule it.
• Until — leave empty to pause indefinitely (they stay out until someone resumes them); set a date and they return automatically.
• Reason — optional, for your own records.

A paused person offers Resume now; a scheduled-but-not-started pause offers Cancel the scheduled pause.

Pairing cadence — give one person a slower pace than the workspace: At most every other week or At most every 4 weeks, or back to the Workspace schedule. Participants can also set this themselves from their personal email link — they can slow down, never speed up.

Leaving — the two ways out:

• Remove from the roster — takes them out of all future pairings. Their history is kept (so the matcher still remembers who they've met), and a removed person offers Put them back on the roster.
• Delete entirely — erases the person and their pairing history. This is the only irreversible action on the page; Pourover asks you to confirm.

The list keeps a couple of one-click shortcuts in each row's ⋯ menu — resend an invite, remove or restore — so routine actions don't need the page open.

Remove vs. delete vs. pause

Someone leaving the company? Remove — history stays useful. Someone on leave? Pause with an end date — they come back on their own. Only delete when a record should never have existed.

Excluding someone from just one week

That doesn't live here — on the week board, select the person and choose Hold out. It skips them for that single cycle and survives regeneration.
