Before you start
- A group needs an existing, active course. If you haven’t added one yet, see add a course.
Add the group
1
Open the form
In the sidebar, select Groups, then select Create group.
2
Name the group and set its branch and course
Enter a Group name, and choose the Branch and Course for the group.If the chosen branch has no active course, Cohort shows “This branch has no active course — a group can’t be created.” with a Create course link.The branch and course can’t be changed once the group is created.
3
Assign a teacher, room and capacity
Choose the Teacher, or leave it as Unassigned to add one later. Choose the Room — only rooms in the chosen branch are listed — or leave it as No room. Enter a Capacity if you want to cap how many students can enroll.
4
Set the schedule
Under Days, select each day the group meets — for example Mon, Wed and Fri — then enter the Start time and End time. Also set a Start date and End date.
Cohort only creates the group’s classes once both dates are set. Leave either blank and the group saves with no classes on the schedule — nothing for a teacher to take attendance on — until you add them later from the group’s page. The live preview below the dates shows how many classes the schedule will create; 0 means a date is still missing.
5
Set the grading scale
Under Grading scale, Cohort defaults to Points out of 10 — change it only if you grade this group differently. Choose the Scale type: Points, Percentage or Letter. For Points or Percentage, enter a Maximum points or Maximum (%); for Points, you can also turn on Allow half-point scores. This sets how teachers will enter daily marks for the group.
6
Save
If the teacher or room you picked is already booked for an overlapping class in that date range, Cohort blocks the save and shows a Scheduling conflict error naming the clashing date and time. Choose a different teacher, room, time or date range and try again.
