# Create a New Group and Adding People to the Group
## Create a New Group
Select the **Contact** toolkit on the **Admin Home Page** and select the **Groups** counter below the **Contact Group** heading.
Click on the **Add New Group** link at the top of the page to create new Group.
Provide basic details for the new group:
* Add **Group Name** (Required): The name of the group should be unique and descriptive.
* Choose Group **Type (Department, District, Employer, List, Role, Team or Venue)**(Required): Group type determines the features available for using and managing it in the system.
* Add Group **Tag** (Optional): You can tag contact groups to make them easier to find.
* Click **Save**
Additional fields that can be edited after **Group** has been created:
* **Description:** Comment or note to describe the purpose of the group.
* **Group Code:** Alphanumeric code that uniquely identifies this contact group.
* **Group Category:** Classification or tag for this group
* **Group Status:** The current status of this group.
* **Parent (Hierarchy) / Parent (Functional):** You can select another group as the container for this contact group. This is optional, and it allows you to nest groups into subgroups.
* **Capacity:** The maximum number of people permitted in this group.
* **Group Options:** Automatically add new users to this group / Allow users to subscribe/unsubscribe themselves
After creating the **Group Type: Employer, District or Venue**, navigate to the **Address** panel in the group and add the **Physical, Shipping and Billing Address** (if required by Organization).
Click **Save** when address has been added.
## Adding People to a Group
In the **Group**, click on the **People** tab and then on the **Add People** button.
You can add people by searching for the people you want to add or in bulk by adding email addresses:
* **Searching for People:** You can search for people to add to the group by **Contact Name** or **Email**. After searching for the person you want to add, click the checkbox next to the person's name and then click on the **Add** button. If there is more than one person in your search results that you want to add, you are able to select multiple checkboxes.
* **Bulk:** Select **By Email Address List** from the dropdown list under the **Add People to Group** heading. Copy and paste the email addresses of users that you want to add to the group and click on the **Add** button.
*Please note, these users need to already have a contact record in the system to be added to the group.*
## Allow User Self-Registration
To allow **User Self Registration**, after creating the group, go into the **Group** and under the **Group** tab select the checkbox next to **Allow users to subscribe/unsubscribe themselves**. By selecting the checkbox, the system adds a toggle for the group on the new user registration screen. Users are able to select the group when creating their new account on the [**New User** registration page.](https://github.com/InSite/docs/blob/master/ui/lobby/register/README.md)
## How to Create a link for New User Registration page with slider pre-selected
An Global Admin can create a link, to provide to Organizations, so if a user needs to select a Role during registration the Role will be pre-select when users create an account.
Example: https\://**Organization**.insite.com/ui/lobby/register?group=**GROUP NAME**
**Using InSite as an example**:
Organization: insite | Group Name: Help Documentation
**HINT:** If you put in the group name as is, the system will replace each space with the characters %20. You can avoid this by using a + character instead of the spaces in your link. (GROUP+NAME / GROUP%20NAME)
**URL:**
On the New User registration page, the Help Documentation field will be preselected.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://docs.shiftiq.com/help/contacts/group-management/adding-new-group.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
