Groups

Start with a name and time zone. You can then set a seat limit, dates to show on the website, a place, visibility and a price. Leave the optional fields empty for a first group; the table below explains what each setting does and where it applies. Public dates do not open or close lessons. See Selling courses for prices.

Check the group's Preview before publishing. Course release lists anything you must fix first. After publication, students in the group can start and Taskpipe starts sending their access emails. Add students from the group's student list. An email marked sent does not prove it reached an inbox.

Use course settings means the group follows the course choice. Choose a different value on the group if it needs its own setting.

Field	Value when created / limit	Where it applies
Name	Required, not empty.	This group; shown to managers and students.
Time zone	Required. The form suggests your browser's zone; choose a valid time zone.	Dates on this group.
Seat limit	Empty means no limit; otherwise a positive whole number.	This group. You cannot lower it below the number already enrolled.
Public dates	Empty; start and end are optional.	Website display only, not lesson access.
Place	Optional. Country uses a two-letter code.	This group.
Listed / sales page	Use the course choices until changed here.	Public list and sales page.
Email language	Use the course language until changed here.	A student's chosen language takes priority when known.

A group can be a draft, published or closed. You can publish a draft after Course release finds it ready. A published group can receive more students while seats remain. Only published groups marked as listed appear in the external group list. If a group uses the course's visibility choice, changing that choice also changes the group. A choice set on the group stays as it is.

If an access email fails, use Retry access emails in Course release. This retries email delivery without publishing again.
