Can't select the option "sign up as groups" in Scheduler Appointment Groups

[abdullahkhalids]

I have a course with a Group Set, with every student assigned to a group. I go to Calendar, click "Create New Event", and go to the "Appointment Group" tab. I select my course. At this point I cannot select the "Have students sign up in groups." option. Hovering over the checkbox gives a disabled sign as shown below.

How do I fix this?

Hi @abdullahkhalids,

I noticed your selected calendar includes "T1" at the end. Is the calendar you selected a course section? According to How do I add a Scheduler appointment group in a course calendar?, "The groups option is only available if you previously selected the calendar for the entire course. You cannot select a calendar for a specific section because Canvas does not currently support sections in groups."

Thanks for your answer.

You led me to the solution. It seems like IT created one section in each course, and then assigned me as Teacher in that section. So, I could not actually select the entire course in the Scheduler for Appointment Groups. So I went to my course->People > my own User details -> and then selected "let this user see all course users".

Then in the Scheduler could I select the entire course, and then I was allowed to choose the "sign up as groups" option.
