Form Groups
You now have the ability to link your form/tutor group to your account. All you need to do is create a group and make sure that in the group description field you type the word ‘Form’ followed by the form code or name that you use in school.
Click on Groups on the Sidebar:
Now click Create New Group
- Enter the name of the group
- Enter the description which must start with the word ‘Form’
- Leave the 'Share this group with all Staff' box unticked, as this would share your form with all staff
- Click on Create Group.
Once you have created the group, a My Form button will now appear under the Classroom Tools section.
Now you can populate the group with the relevant students as described in the Groups documentation. Once this has been completed, when you open your Timetable you will see the linked Form / Tutor group.
Note: when a group is used as a form group, unlike other groups, it will detect the correct students and show them in the manually add students list and allow the automatic sort to work.
