A group is a simplified version of a community but it has most of the essential elements as an orb. It has the following features:
  • Discussion forum
  • Content Library
  • Image gallery
  • Calendar of Events
  • Blog
  • Ask an expert

The Group feature is a very useful feature as one can be created for the following purposes:
1. Allow information to be organized as some of it may only be useful for a particular group of people.

2. To classify groups of people and assigning them certain permissions

3. While most members have limited permissions in a community, they can create their own groups to cater to a particular interest group within the community.

To use the Group feature:

1. Go to 'Group' on the navigation menu. It is a feature that will be added to your community by default.

2. Click on 'Create a new group'.

3. Then fill in the details as prompted.

4. A group will be created and you are now free to use it the way you would use a community
