Adding a group

Groups for students and teachers are usually created automatically from the local user management system. However, it can be useful to create groups manually, for example for testing and demonstration purposes.

To create a group manually:

1. Log in to the platform using your administrator account.

2. Go to the Administration > Groups section.

3. Click the Add a group button at the top of the screen.

4. Fill in the fields below:

   • Name: name of the group, without spaces or uppercase letters.

   • External identifier: visible identifier for the group. We recommend using the same value as for the Display name.

   • Display name: display name of the group in the platform. It is recommended that you use the same value as for the External identifier.

   • Type: the different types of group offer different features.

5. Click the Add. button.

Assignment of mandatory readings is only available with groups of type Class.
