Creating a group

A group is a real class that meets at a place and time. You start one from a program, which decides who's allowed to join.

Create one

1. Select New group — from the Groups view, or from a program's own page.
2. Fill in the details:
   • Program (required) — the program this group runs from. Only active programs appear here.
   • Name (required) — what this group is called, for example "Tuesday Morning Group."
   • Location (optional) — where it meets.
   • Schedule note (optional) — free text for when it meets, like "Mondays 2–3 pm" or "every other Tuesday."
   • Attendance mode (required) — Roster for a class you enroll people into and mark present or absent each session, or Drop-in for an open, walk-in class where people are checked in at the door. Most groups are Roster, which is the default.
3. Select Create group.

Your new group opens with its three tabs ready: Roster, Sessions, and Attendance.

What's next

• Enroll your first participants onto the roster.
• Create sessions and take attendance as the group meets.
• Running an open, walk-in class instead? See Drop-in groups.

Change details later

Location and schedule can be edited anytime with the group's Edit button — start the group now and fine-tune the details as plans firm up.
