Managing Groups

What are Groups?

Groups are Springring's tagging system, these are created by the School Leader and help in creating the school's structure. Springring gives flexibility and full control to design the school system.

Groups are used to quickly add a number of users to your Boards and Classes. They can contain different numbers of users depending on the school structure. For example, a single group can contain the Whole School, the staff and students of only the Primary School, or just the staff and students taking up swimming. 

 

 

Each of the Groups created contains a set of users. The Admin assigns the users in each Group, for example, Year 1 will contain all the Teachers that teach Year 1 and all the Students that belong in that year group.
