Groups

Organize an online home for your practice, association, business, or event. Or, create a "virtual" group with other community members who share a common interest. Creating a new group is simple: Click the "Create Group" icon, enter basic information about your group, optionally upload a group photo, then hit submit. Done. You will become manager of your new group with administrative control over all group activities.

Groups are designated as either public or private. Public groups can be set to accept subscription requests automatically, require manager approval, or by invitation only. A group can accept content submissions from each of its members in four different areas: Messages, Events, Photos, and Polls. When creating new content, you can select "Public" in the "Groups" section on the entry form if you would like your post to appear in sitewide listings. For example, if your organization has an upcoming event that you'd like to promote to the entire community, create a new group event but select "Public" on the entry screen. Your event will then appear on the Events tab for your group as well as the main site Events tab. If public is not selected, your post will only appear within your group.

A demonstration group is available if you'd like to learn more about the groups system. Select "Demonstration Group" from the list below to join. This demonstration group is configured for open membership so you can subscribe instantly. All features of the groups system are available for you to explore.
