CLT Student Guide :: Form groups

Instructions to form groups of users in LiveText:

After you feel comfortable with LiveText, you may want to learn forming a group so that you do not have to search for your instructors’ names each time you need to send something for review. You may also form a group to include your peers in your project team or class.

 

1.      Click on My Desk. On the left hand side column, under the title “Collaboration”, click on the link Groups.

2.      Click the [Create] button on the top-left corner of the listing table.

3.      For the group, type in a relevant ‘title’. For example, course number or department name or project name. You may type in an optional ‘description’ if you wish to.

4.      Click the button [Save] to create the group.

5.      Check that the group you just created is listed in the table on page My Groups. You have two links on the right hand side of the group: edit and members. Click the link members to begin adding your instructor(s) as group member(s). (Edit is for modifying group name and description.)

6.   Click the tab 'Add Members'.

7.   Look up your instructor’s name as you do when you send items for review.  Check the box next to the person’s name, and click the [Add] button.

8.      If you wish the group to include only one name, hit the button [Go back] on top-right corner of table. If you wish to add other names so that items go to multiple people at one time, add the second, third, etc. names as you added the first, by following steps 6 and 7.  Click on [Go back] when you are done.

9.     Now, when you are ready to send an item for review, instead of looking up your professor’s name each time, click on the drop down menu to ‘choose group’ in reviewers.  Choose the correct name, click on add to the right of the drop down box, and hit finish.

10.   Don’t forget to verify the item has been sent by checking your reviews page.
