How do I create a group?

1. To create a new group, navigate to the “Group” tab of the Dashboard and select “Create New Group”.

   

2. When creating a group, the following sections are the three main areas to consider:
   • Details
   • Settings
   • Payment

     

3. Consider the following when setting up group details:
   • Group Name
   • Group Description: Enter a brief group description. Users will see this if they are not members of your group.
   • Why Someone Should Join?  Please enter the reason that people should join your group. Users will see this if they are not members of your group.
   • Group Membership Information: Group members will always see this on the group home page.
   • Group Welcome Message: New group members will see this as a pop-up until they dismiss it.
   • Group Image: If no image is uploaded, your default logo will automatically become the group image until edited.

4. Consider the following when setting up group settings:
   • Customize your basic group settings:
     • Is this a private group? Checkmark if you want the group to be private.
     • Do you want total group workout stats hidden? If checked, this will remove the group workout stats bar.
     • Does this group exclusively use WOD format workouts? WARNING: this is onlyforcrossfit groups that use reps/rounds/time/Rx
     • Create group calendar? Checkmark this if you want all group members to be on the same calendar
     • Do you want admins to receive notifications for all new discussions? Checkmark if you’d like all admins to review notifications from the discussions
     • Do you want to prevent members of this group from messaging trainers? Checkmark if you’d like to prevent members from messaging trainers
       
   • Customize the group tabs:
     • Activity:  Shows all logged workouts of the group members to comment and high five
     • Discussion Boards: Have group members and admins engage with each other
     • Leaderboard:
     • Videos: Add videos to the group (ie. Welcome video, etc.)

     • Lifetime price: Enter one time payment price (leave blank if not a lifetime group)
