Create a group

Staff and admins create groups. Set up one for each serving team (Worship Team, Slides, Ushers) and you can fill a role with the whole team in one step.

No one is told when you add them to a group. They see it on their profile and on the Groups page.

Choose the privacyStaff

• Public Group: anyone can see and join it. Good for small groups and classes that welcome anyone.
• Restricted Group: anyone can see it, but the owner approves who joins. Good for serving teams that need training first.
• Private Group: only its members see it. Good for a leadership team.

Add tagsStaff

Tags sort groups on the Groups page (like small group or hospitality). Type in Tags and pick one, or type a new one and select Add tag “…”.

Add a pictureStaff

A group gets a picture once it exists: create it first, then edit it.

1. 1
   Open the group and select Edit group.
2. 2
   Under Picture, select Upload Picture and pick an image.

It saves right away; Scheduly resizes it for the cards and the group's page. Select Change 1 (marker 1 on the screenshot) to pick another one, or Delete 2 (marker 2 on the screenshot) to remove it. Only admins, and the group's owner if they're staff, see Picture.

Can't create or change a group?Staff

• No Create group or Edit group button? Only staff and admins can create and edit groups, even a group's owner. Ask an admin to make you staff (Staff, admins and disabled accounts).
• No Picture or Delete in the form? Only admins and the group's owner see them, and the owner needs to be staff.
• "Cannot transfer ownership, group does not belong to you"? Only the owner and admins can pick a new owner.
• "You are not editing the latest version"? Someone else saved the group while you had it open. Close the form, open it again and redo your change.
