Create a group

Create a group

The Create group action can be found in processes in the "Elements" area. It belongs to the category "Actions - Intrexx Share". It can be dragged and dropped to the desired location in the process chain and then configured. General information about creating process items can be found here.

Visibility

Public

A public group can be see by every Intrexx Share user. Every post, which was written by group members, is also visible to non-members. Writing posts or actions, such as I like this, Remind me and Share are reserved for members.

Visible to restricted users

The description of a group with restricted visibility is visible to all Intrexx Share users. The members and posts are not shown to non-members.

Private

The group, and its members and posts, will only be shown to members and people to whom the group was recommended. Public groups and those with restricted visibility provide non-members with the ability to apply for membership. The group's moderator can approve or decline the application respectively. The group's moderator can add members to private groups. Users, who have received a recommendation for a private group, can also join directly.
