Group Planners can create, manage and delete non scheduling (communication) groups.
Non-schedule groups are a great way to communicate with a small number of members compared to all members of a scheduling group. Non scheduling groups may be used to associate several members who do not necessarily belong to the same scheduling group. They are also used to control access to the documentation deposited and accessible on the platform or for event planning.
- Create a Non-Schedule group
From the Contacts menu, you will see on the left side panel all of your distribution lists, your scheduling groups and your non-schedule groups. To create a new non-schedule group, click on the + on the Non-schedule group section.
To create a new Non-scheduled group, the following information must be provided:
- Name: The group's name is limited to 100 characters
- Short name: The group's short name is limited to 20 characters. The short name is displayed on the left side panel to access the group.
- City: This corresponds to the place (location) this group belongs to.
- Time Zone: The time zone selected will affect the events time shown in the group and members respective calendars.
- Group specialty: this field is optional. To enter it, you may select from the drop-down list provided.
- Group language: Choose between French or English. The language selected for the group will be designated for new members and can be modified in their profile.
Once the required fields are entered, the Save button will become available.
