Add & Edit Community Groups

Community group managers must add the communities (e.g. Drama Club, Upper School Parents) before they can create group pages or sections.

Users must have group page access to access sections.

1. Under Extracurricular, select Community groups > Group management > Add/Edit Community Groups.

2. To add a new community group, select Add. To edit an existing community group, locate the group in the list and select Edit.

3. Enter or update the following information:

   • Title: Enter the name of the community (e.g. Drama Club).

   • Length: If the community should be tied to a specific school year and term, enter the term length in this field (e.g. enter 1 if the community will be one semester). If the community is continuous (not tied to a specific school year and term), leave this field blank. Most communities are continuous.

   • School Level: Choose the school level with which the community should be associated.

   • Course Code

   • Publish to Front End: Select if the group should be visible on your public website.

   • Inactive: Select this option to inactivate the community.

   • Membership (select one of the following membership options):

     • Listed Anyone: Constituents can join the community without needing approval.

     • Listed with Permission: Constituents can request to join the community but their membership must be approved.

     • Un-Listed Invite Only: Managers or leaders can invite selected constituents to join the community (Constituents must respond).

     • Smart Group: Managers or Leaders can query the database to add large numbers of constituents (e.g. all upper school parents) to the community.

   • Category: Select the category with which the community should be associated.

   • Thumbnail Photo: Select an image for the community.

   • Description: Enter a description for the community that will display to constituents.

4. When you're done, select Save & Exit and your group now appears in the main Groups list.
