After you have created your group

Ok, you've created your group, now what?! Don't worry we've got you covered, here are the features available to you:

  1. Roles: Each member is associated with a role (e.g. bass, drums). You can go to settings > Roles to manage the available roles in your group. When your members join your group, they can pick their role from your pre-defined list of roles. Alternatively, if you don't pre-defined roles now, each member can add their role when they join.
  2. Members: Invite members to your group by going to left-navigation > Members and press the 'invite members' button. You can add a list of email addresses and send invites out so that when your members reply, they create an account on the site and become a member of your group.
  3. Events: create events that you want to collect availability information for. Go to the left-nav > Events, where you will find the events list. Press 'create event' and input the relevant information, then save it. It will now appear in the list of events, and members can let you know whether they can make it or not.
  4. Calendar: create one-off or recurring events that you don't want to collect availability for. Events created on the calendar can't collect RSVP information - but you can view both performance events and calendar events in both the list view and the calendar view.
  5. Posts: Go to Settings > Social, where you can switch on Posts. These are great for general announcements or single-topic information or discussion, and you can create multiple post channels, and decide whether you will allow comments, and whether you'll allow members to create posts, or only admins.
  6. Messaging: you can also switch this on in social settings, and it allows you to create multiple chat streams that include the whole group, or else single or multiple people within your group.
  7. Documents: You can switch on document in the settings section, and this allows you to upload documents from which you can share them. You can also optionally request viewing confirmation, and see who has read the document and who hasn't.
  8. Subscriptions: go to settings  > Revenue to switch on revenue features. This allows you to integrate your subscription payments with your group membership, with tools to view subs status, missed payments, and you can pause, cancel or resume payments for a member at any time.
  9. Shop: Sell merch or kit to your group, or to the public. This is also managed in the revenue settings, and it allows you to add a product range to your group, and to accept payment for orders through the site.

For all these features there are many help articles in the different sections of the help centre. Explore the categories or search for what you need to know!
