# On-Call Rosters

The On-Call Roster lets you create user groups to be notified when an alarm occurs. Each group includes a list of users in a specific order. Alarm pipeline's notification blocks must choose an on-call roster which identifies the users to notify for that notification block. When notifications are sent out by a pipeline, all users on the roster will be notified, save for those that are off shift (see [schedules](platform/alarming/alarming-schedules/alarming-schedules.md)). 

On-Call Rosters are statically defined, in that they can't be modified from a pipeline. However a [calculated roster](ignition-modules/alarm-notification/alarm-notification-pipelines/pipeline-blocks/notification-block.md) can be created on demand on a Notification block.

## Manage the Roster from the Client
Roster management also can take place from within a Vision Client. 

1. Open your project in the **Designer** and navigate to a window the client has access to. If this is a new window, you will have to add it to your navigation.
2. From the Component Palette, drag and drop a **Roster Management** component in your design window.

3. If you have more than one user source, go to the Property Editor and enter the one you want to be used by the roster in the **User Source** property.
4. **Save** your project.
5. To interact with the roster, either launch your Vision Client or put your Designer into Preview mode.
6. To edit the roster, double-click any where on the roster or click the **Edit** ![](<edit small-24.png>) icon in the upper right.
