This lesson will show you how to create a Student Group. Student Groups allow you to categorize and group students based on your criteria. You can then share that Student Group with other users and give them "visibility" permissions so they can access the students within Infinity and reports.

- Click Students.
- Under the General section, select Student Groups.This will show you your list of Student Groups.
1. Select Great Group.
1. Enter a name for your Student Group.
2. Click Create.
A visibility group allows you to adjust your entire view of Infinity and reports to only look at the students in this group. This makes the Student Group available in the Control Panel, in your student scope selector or in a custom report.
To enable the group as a visibility group:
- Select Yes for Visibility Group.
- Click Save Changes.
Add Students
You can add students using the following options:
- Grade Levels: Add an entire grade level. e.g. Add all 7th graders to the Student Group.
- Programs: Add all students from a Student Program. (NOTE: Most of us are not bringing in additional programs at this time so this may not be applicable to you.)
- Reports: Add students from a custom report. e.g. Create a custom report ahead of time which you've filtered to only include students with particular test scores, demographics, etc., and then use that report to populate your Student Group.
- Sections: Add students by class section.e.g. By enrollment/period.
- Add Students: Add individual students by name.
Note: Adding students does not work like filters, which limit your selection. All students that meet each of those individual criteria will be added regardless of whether or not they fit the other criteria. For example, if you add Grade 1, the Student Group will include all Grade 1 students.
Tip: Adding students by Grade Level, Custom Report or Section will make your group dynamic. That means when new students fit the selection criteria, they will automatically be added to the group. When you add students manually (Add Students), the group will only reflect the students you manually selected.
The View Student List page displays the total number of students added from all the different tabs.
- Click View Student List.
- Check that the number of students in the list matches the number you are expecting.
- Click the Share tab.
- Select the roles, users, etc. who need access to the Student Group.
- Check the box next to Can View. Check the box next to Can Use as Visibility if users need to use the group to see non-rostered students or use the group in the Control Panel / student scope selectors.
- Click Share.
