Groups are a powerful way to allow your students, members and teaching staff to organise themselves into special interest groups where they can share information, documents and update relevant to their specific field of interest, job function or course.
Our groups can be set up in three ways:
- Public: anyone can see and join the group
- Private: members must be invited to join to request that they join and only the group members can view the activity stream and documents for that group
- Hidden: members are invited to join by the group’s admin and the group itself does not appear on the group directory page but only under the individual members’ group list.
Creating a group
You can setup group creation so that only administrators can create new groups or any member on the site can create new groups.
It’s a very easy process to create a new group. The screenshots below show you just how easy it is. A simple 6 step process (you have the option to skip some of these steps):
- Set the name and description of the group
- Set the privacy requirement for the group – public, private or hidden
- Add a profile photo for the group – this is used in the group listing page as well
- select media settings
- add a cover image – this is the banner when the group is viewed
- and finally invite other users to join the group
1. the group title and description
2. the group settings
3. the group profile image
Once your group is set up you can manage it easily from your group admin panel (Manage) where all of the setting can be edited. It is here that you can also select other group members to be group admins or moderators.
