The Groups tab enables Company Admin to create, view and manage Groups within a Company. Once a Group has been successfully created, learners can be added to the Group which allows Admin to manage learning activities and report at a group level. Admin can add a single learner to a Group or multiple learners using the ‘Bulk Upload’ option.
All Groups are presented on this page with Name, total learner count, Administrator information and edit options.
