User Groups

In Accudemia you can create groups to have users organized, you can use such groups as filters for reporting and other uses, there are two main ways to create them: Manually and using Reports. Start by logging into your Accudemia website (https://myschool.accudemia.net replacing “myschool” with your domain).

Creating User Groups manually

This section is used to define a group of Users by hand. Here's how to perform this action manually:

  1. To create a new Student Group go to Administration > User Groups.
  2. Click the + New Group button.
  3. Under Group Information, type a Name for the group you want to create.
  4. Under Members, select the Users you want to add to the new group.
  5. Click the Save Changes button at the top of this page to save your changes (or Discard to go back without saving).

Now that you have defined manually your User Groups you will be able to filter your reports using the group name.

Creating User Groups using Reports

When you run a report in Accudemia some data is shown, you can use such data to create a group; we are going to use an example: if you need to create a group with all those users that have not been coming to the center in the past week you would need to select the report called Zero Visits; follow these steps:

  1. Start by logging into your Accudemia website (https://myschool.accudemia.net replacing “myschool” with your domain).
  2. Depending on the specifications from the group you want to create navigate to Reports from the main menu and locate such report showing the data you need to create the group(for this example the Zero Visit report
  3. Open the report and select all the filters as needed to show only the members of the groups you need as output, for example in this case we select the range= Last week.
  4. Enable the checkbox Create Group and run the report as usual.
  5. Now go to Administration > User Groups and enable the option Report Generated on the left.
  6. You can click the group name (it usually consists of the report name and filters used).

Additionally you can create the Student groups based on demographics already being imported into profile values. Learn more here: Imports

The “member count” display is a new feature that helps let you know how many users are in the group without having to edit them to view the number of “selected” users.
