Groups
1. Open module
Click on "Groups" in the navigation to switch to the module.
2. Groups
The overview page displays all groups that are visible to you. The view can be switched between a tile and list view.
3. Filter information
The buttons allow you to sort the groups by "My" (groups you have created yourself or of which you are a member), "Recommendations" and "More groups " (groups of which you are not yet a member).
4. Favorites
Groups can be marked as favorites by clicking on the 
star button. Favorite groups are displayed at the top of the overview page and the star symbol can also be used to call them up in the navigation under "Groups".
5. Create a group
To create a group, select the "Create group" button at top left of the display.
When you create a new group, you will automatically become one of the group's moderators. After creating the group, multiple moderators can also be defined.
Visibility
Visibility can be defined as public, restricted or private. Public groups and their posts are visible to all users. A restricted group is visible to all Intrexx Share users, but the content of the group and the posts can only be seen by group members. Private groups are visible to selected users only.
Activate membership requests
Public groups provide non-members with the ability to apply for membership. Moderators of the group can approve or reject member requests. Non-members will see the "Apply" button on the overview page, which can be used to send a request. Group moderators can view and edit applications on the group's details page via the "Applications" member button.
Members
Members of a group can be managed via the Intrexx Share distribution list.
Members can send recommendations
If this setting is enabled, you allow the members of the group to recommend the group to other Intrexx Share users.
Users are allowed to create connections
For members of the group to use the Integrate Modules feature, this setting must be enabled when the group is created. Group members can then create and view new or existing events, polls, projects, file folders, and photo albums directly in the group.
Show group on News
You can activate this option to create a post in the News module that draws other users' attention to the new group.
Group details
The detail page of a group is divided into two sections. In the upper section, all the essential information about the group is displayed.
Members
The number of group members is displayed here. Clicking on this button opens a detail page where members and applications can be viewed and managed.
Moderators of the group can add more members to the group via "Manage members". Members and moderators can also recommend the group if the moderator applied the appropriate setting when creating the group.
Via the 
options menu, members can be appointed as moderators, but members can also be removed from the group. At least one moderator must be defined. A moderator cannot leave the group until another moderator is defined.

Integrate modules
In the group details, new or existing events, surveys, projects, file folders and photo albums can be created and displayed.
To display these, click on 
"Create new connection" and select the desired module. The input page will appear, where you can connect an existing object (e.g. an existing project) or a new object (e.g. a new project).
For each added element, a tab is generated in the group, which is used to display the relevant data and the most important editing options.
