In this article, we'll walk you through the steps to add new groups to a container. This typically happens after creating a container, where the next step is to add groups (activities). You might also use this process partway through a term if you need to introduce a new activity.
Once the container has been created, click on Manage to go into the container

Available to/Prerequisite/Unavailable to: Click on each option, a pop-up box will appear on the screen. This will determine who can sign up for this activity.
a. Available to: This defines the Years/Groups/Classes that are eligible for the activity/event.
b. Prerequisite: This even narrows down the availability (more used for sports teams, eg Advanced swimming will be a prerequisite to Basic swimming).
c. Unavailable to: If you wish to prevent students from joining the same activity as last term, you can set the group from last term as unavailable (more used for very popular activities). - Use the drop-down box and search bar to search for the Years/Groups/Classes.
