and then you can create a new group or transfer an existing group.

Login to?create a group

Your group can be a brand new one or one that is going to be transferred from YahooGroups.

Do you want a basic (free) group or would you like the features that come with a premium or enterprise plan?

You can start with free and move to a paid account later. Or if you are transferring a group from Yahoo, you must get a premium account for at least one year.

First steps

Create a group by clicking on the link to Create A Group.

Verify that your group will comply with 开云体育's terms of service:

• ?开云体育 TOS
• Types of groups-that aren't permitted

An account is identified by its email address. Decide on the email address. This is normally the name of the group or a short but identifying version of your group name. ?

• It also controls the group’s URL ?The domain name will be @groups.io ?
• This also controls sort order in the directory of groups, if you opt for that.
• You can change your email address and name later if you must. ?See?Renaming a Group
• Compose a good description for your group. Be specific. This description will appear on your 开云体育 homepage. It can be edited again later.?

Decide on visibility. Do you want your group to be visible to search engines and the general public? Do you want your group to be listed in the list of groups?

• The archive of a group consists of all messages posted to the group, except messages that have been deleted. It is displayed in a chronological list by clicking on "Messages" on the group’s home page.
• Some groups are restricted (new?members must be approved), some have public archives and some private. And some opt not to be listed in the directory.

Decide who you want to be able to?create a?subgroup? Subscribers (group members), moderators and owners or just owners. Here's some help -?Why use a Subgroup

Click on the green button to create your group.

You will be able to customize your group administrative settings after you create the group.

Wait a day or so after you create your group to allow the groups.io system to approve the group and enter it?into the database of groups. To make sure that's been done, just go to the main page and search for your group.

Settings - customizing your basic?group:

You still have important work to do!

The Settings page sets some overall limits, and the individual features have some control options as well.

Login to your group using your own email address. Your email address is your account ID. [username?]

Go to Admin > Settings in the menu on the left.

There are tabs - settings, default sub (subscription) settings, cover photo (for your home page), notices (editable invitation notice, welcome, etc.) and export group data (to meet European GDPR / privacy regulations).

Default Sub Settings tab:

You can set up standard?(default) subscription settings for users. Individual users can change this themselves, but if they don't, this would be their group settings. For more information, see Subscription Options.

There are 5 more choices on this tab - Maximum?attachment?size that will be emailed to members, time zone, time?display (standard or "military" aka 24-hour clock), and start date for your group calendar. Attachment size options includes unlimited and 0 (no attachments).

Click on the blue button (update group) to save your choices and changes.

Cover Photo tab:

You can add a photo for your group home page as well as a group icon for use on mobile devices.

Member Notices tab:

And write a welcome email that is sent when someone joins your group.

If you wish more information about potential new members, use Pending Subscription notice. This message sent when someone applies to join your group. This is only available to Restricted Groups (see Spam Control in Settings).

And you might consider a Group Guidelines notice.

The Group Guidelines notice is a unique type that provides a convenient and versatile way to communicate and maintain the group’s posting and conduct guidelines, if any. It has the following features and options:

• can be sent automatically on the first of each month as a message to the group, with an option to include members subscribed via Special Notices Only
• can be sent automatically to all new group members
• can be sent manually by a moderator to a group member at any time, in case the member needs a review of the guidelines
• appears under its own "Guidelines" tab at left on the group’s pages, with an option to be visible either by group members only or by the public

For more information, see the Help pages.

Export Group Data tab:

To download your complete message archive, click on the Settings tab under the Admin tab in the sidebar. From there, click the Export Group Data button. You can then select which parts of your group to export.
