Overview of Group Information
Group name
Groups are used primarily to distribute learning to staff in bulk or to filter reports
Groups provide you with a way to easily filter and find users based on shared roles or training needs
Consider naming conventions that will allow you to sort and filter easily (e.g. Teacher: PDHPE, Teacher: Sport, Teacher: Science)
Be aware
: the system will allow you to create multiple Groups with the same name. Review group names carefully to avoid confusion
Group description (Optional)
Handy for remembering why a group has been created and who is included (e.g. "includes only permanent teaching staff")
Group image (Optional)
Suggested parameters: 300w x 125h pixels, no defined edges, avoid text if possible (it centres and can cut off text)
TIP: If your logo cuts off, create an image with generous white space around the logo.
Group ID
This number is automatically assigned by the system. You will need the Group ID if using the bulk upload process to assign users to groups.
To find the ID number:
Click “Config” button
Check “ID” box
Click "Apply"
Group status
Public groups can be searched for and joined by anyone in the portal.
Private groups can only be joined by invitation.
By default, all groups are set to Private.
