Intro to SubgroupsA subgroup is a space within your group where members can collaborate based on a function, project, topic, location or anything you wish. Only managers of the group can create subgroups and only members of this group can be members of a subgroup.


Sending Announcements

Another option that Managers of the group have is the option to send an Announcement to the other members of the group. To send it just enter a subject, message and then click on the Send Announcement button. Only one announcement per week is permitted.
