4. You may use the Filter by group drop-down menu to filter the site member list by another group or section. For example, if you have two sections combined into one site, and you want to set up groups of students within sections, you could filter the view by section to make assigning students easier. (Note: You must have existing groups/sections for them to show up in this list.)
5. If you would like this group to be part of a Joinable Set, select the set from the drop-down menu. (Note: You must have existing joinable groups for them to show up in this list.)
6. In the Membership section, click on a user or users names to select participants from the Site Member List. Then select on the right arrow button > to move the selected participant/s over to the Group Member List area.
7. Once you have selected all of the desired group members, click on the Add button to create the group.

1. You will need to enter a Set name for the set of groups. Each group will begin with the same name and end with a unique number.

Optionally, you may also select any of the following options:

• Allow users to see group membership before joining
• Allow members to see the other members of these groups after joining
• Allow members to unjoin (leave) groups in this set after joining

Note: Students will need access to Site Info to see and join any joinable sets of groups.
