Groups provide a way of organizing the information you have about your users, courses, and labels.

Users can be assigned to a group or several different groups to reflect the different roles that they are part of. Each group belongs to a Group Type, which identifies the type of information, for example, a Location Group Type or a Department Group Type.

When you have a Group Type, you can create different groups to reflect each of the choices in a drop-down list, for example, the different countries or cities for Location.

To add a group, for example, for a new location or a new type of main business:

1. In the Control Panel, click Users and groups, Groups. 
   
   
   
2. On the Groups page, click Add.
   
   
   
3. In Group settings, in the Title field, enter a name for the new group. 
   
   
4. In the Type dropdown, select the type of the group, for example, the Company Group Type. 
5. There are two ways to add members to the newly created group. First you can click the Add button under Members. On the popup that will appear, select the names of those members you want to add to the group, and then click on Add selected users to group. 

The other way of adding members is by entering the name of the enrolled users into the search boxes. Once you've entered usernames, click the "Add" button. 

6. Click Save to finish the process.
