Groups
Within MINTclass teachers can create groups of students enabling you to create seating plans, view data, print, etc for targeted groups or non-timetabled groups such as extra English lessons, after-school clubs, or even detentions.
On the sidebar, you have a Groups area that will give you the option to make and view your own groups of students. These can then be placed in a seating plan.
Information on Creating Groups can be found HERE
Using Groups
Once you have created your Group, you can view the groups in the same way that you view a lesson. For the purpose of this lesson, I have created an empty group called Internal Exclusion and associated this with a template for the room used for Internal Exclusions.
You will note that there are currently no pupils in this group as you would normally add pupils to an internal exclusion group on the day or even as they are sent to you.
 
To add pupils to this group click on the Pupils tab and select the year group that the pupil is in and then type their name in the Search by Student Name box and click on Run Basic Search.
Now drag and drop the pupil into the seating plan as you would with a lesson.
Now click on the Overview tab on the sidebar and click on your group name (Internal Exclusions) this will add these pupils to the group.
Removing Pupils from a Group
To remove a pupil from a group such as the one above simply click on the Remove button under the pupil picture.
If you are sure that you wish to remove a pupil from a group click on OK.
Removing a Group
If you have a group that you no longer need, you will first need to remove all pupils in that group. You can remove all pupils manually by clicking on the 'Remove' button under their photo, or alternatively, you can remove all pupils by clicking on 'Change Template' located on the sidebar and then selecting 'Remove All Students From Plan'.
Now when you look at the sidebar you will notice that you have a remove button. To delete the group click on this Remove button.
If you are sure that you no longer need this group click on OK.
