Coaches can create groups from the Users they are assigned to. Members of a created group can publish discussions that everyone can see instead of the default one-to-one discussions between a User and Coach. As coaches can create and manage more than one group, we recommend that they create groups with users in them that reflect the same groups in their program sessions.
Log into Ake either by the app or by going to akeapp.com in your web browser and using the credentials provided by your program provider. Once logged in and viewing the home page, click on the menu icon (3 horizontal lines) top-right of the page to open the side menu (see below).
From the side menu, press Groups. This will open the Groups page.
Any groups you create will be listed on this page, detailing the Coach and Users within the group. On existing groups, you can Edit the group and Create a Discussion for that group using the buttons on the right.
To create a new group, press the Add Group button.
From the Create Group page, you can select the Coach of the group you are creating, the group's Title, the Users you would like to be in the group, an Image to represent the group and a Notes field. More information about these fields below.
After filling in the fields, press the Save button at the bottom to create the group. The field with the * must be filled in for the group to save. The group will now be listed on the Groups page and selectable when creating a Discussion or Notification.
