How to create individual lists of Members for committees, family groups etc. that allows Members to communicate with that group.
Groups is a convenient feature to allow members to communicate and connect with members in specific sub categories relevant to that member.
There are four types of groups:
- Auto-Generated Groups uses Member status (Example: Lifetime Member) and automatically places Members into relevant lists. These lists can only be amended through a status change (New Member to Lifetime Member) on a Member's profile.
- Admin Group is where the group and its list of members is known to all MCR Members. (Example: 2012 Recruitment Committee)
- Closed Groups are for situations where you want everyone who's in the group to be able to see/use the group. (Example: Intramural Kickball team) Only Members in the group will be able to see/use the group.
- Personal Groups are for your own use only. Nobody (not even admin users) apart from you will be able to see your Personal Groups or their member lists/count. When an email is sent it will hide the group name from the email and instead just show the list of individual users that was sent to/cc/Bcc. (Example: My Roommates)
To see the Members in a group double click the group name, and you will be brought to the list of Members in that group.
