<li>Click on 'Libraries and groups'</li>

<h2>Add a new Group</h2>
|
|
|
|
<strong>What is Group(s) and why would I want to use it? <br />
|
|
</strong>
|
|
<p>
|
|
A single branch library does not need to utilize the Group(s) feature.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Group(s) are used to divide your library system into categories. If, for example, you have
|
|
one main library and several branch libraries, you might set up an "M"
|
|
(Main) group and a "B" (Branch) group, with descriptions "Main
|
|
Library" and "Branch Libraries." Another example is a library system
|
|
which is divided into regions. You can create the "North Region" group,
|
|
which contains libraries A, B, and C and the "South Region" group, which
|
|
contains libraries D, E, and F.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p style="background-color: #ffe599">TIP: Start by adding your Groups/Categories (if you have any) before adding Libraries.
