Student Group Manager: My Groups

Introduction to My Groups

  The My Groups Page is where all the student groups you have made are stored and managed. Your groups will be listed together, or in categories if you have set those up. Each group in the list will have some button options on the right side of the page:

• The downward arrow button will display more information about your group, specifically what was entered into the description box when the group was made.
• The four-pointed arrow allows you to click and drag the group in the list to change the order the groups are presented in.
• The pencil button displays a drop-down menu of options:

• Edit Item allows you to edit the name and/or move the group into a category.
• Create Shortcut allows you to make a shortcut to your group to put somewhere else. For example, if you had a category of groups called “Special Education by Grade” and your group “Grade 5 Special Education” was inside the category, but you wanted it in the “Grade 5 Services” category as well, you could shortcut it so the same group was listed in two places.
• Clone Item allows you to duplicate an existing group. This can be helpful if you are making multiple similar groups so you can copy one and change it instead of starting each from scratch.
• Delete will delete the student group.

• The Manage button brings you into the definition of the student group and lets you edit the properties, filters, etc.

In the top right corner there is a button labeled Actions.

When clicked it drops down a menu to select from:

• The Display Modes show the groups in the list as either a grid, organized into columns, or a list format.
• Open Category Tree will show you all your categories and where they are, in case you have multiple categories nested inside each other and can’t find what you are looking for.
• Add New Category allows you to add a category to your list. In order to add a student group to a category you must find the group and click on the pencil button.
