[ARCHIVED] publishing groups

[holmant]

Hi Everyone!

I have a question regarding groups.  Is it possible to assign students to groups and the groups NOT be published until a certain date?  I have 29 students (from NC universities STATE-WIDE) that need to be put into 6 groups.  Lead faculty does not want the groups to be published until all students turn in an introductory document (stating their workplace, trying to divide the students so that no two students work in the same place of employment).  This document will determine which group they will be placed in.  I have 14 students have turned in the said document so far.  Can I put those 14 in their groups WITHOUT the students seeing their group?

It may seem like a weird question, but the lead faculty wants the students to be put in their group ASAP.

Thank you so much!

Hello @holmant !

Unfortunately there isn't a way to publish/unpublish or otherwise hide groups once they are created.  However, Community User @James goes into detail in this post about how he works with this aspect of the software.
