Groups are a great way to share documents and discussions with anyone in the Division. You can use them for project work, committees, whatever your needs might be. To create a group, click on the "Tools" menu at the top of the page and then click on "Groups". The page that appears will show you all the groups currently on the site. You should first check to see if someone else has already created a group you can join. If not, click on "Create a group" and follow the prompts. Click save and you are ready to go.

Groups can be open or private. If you create an open group, anyone can join in the conversation. For a private group you invite your friends. To do that, once you finish creating the group and have saved it, click on "invite friends" and select who you want to invite by checking the box next to their name (names are arranged alphabetically by first name). Click on "invite" and the system will send them an e-mail invitation with a link they can click to join your group.

When you create content for a group, you can set the access level for that content. If you set it to Group:<group name> only people who are in the group will be able to see it.
