If your Organisation has research groups, departments, or teams that are active in research and innovation, you can manage them separately on Crowdhelix using the Groups feature. Setting up a ****group allows you to showcase its capabilities across the Crowdhelix Network, and displays the Opportunities posted by the Expert users ****that represent it on the platform. You can manage your group’s profile page using the Groups tab of the Organisation Settings page on the Crowdhelix platform, which also allows you to manage the users and opportunities that are associated with it.

<aside> ⚠️ To access the Organisation Settings page you must have been assigned as the Organisation’s Leader (by a member of the Crowdhelix team) or as one of its Administrators (by either a member of the Crowdhelix team or the leader). If you believe you should be granted either of these roles for your organisation, please 👥  contact the team for support.

Step by step

At any time whilst logged in to Crowdhelix, you can create Groups under your Organisation in the Organisation Settings page. To access this, click your profile image or initials at the top right of the page to open the menu. Next, click your organisation’s name from the dropdown list, under the section entitled MANAGE ORGANISATIONS.

Click the Groups tab of the Organisation Settings page to access the list of the groups under your organisation (if any).

By clicking + Create group towards the middle of the Groups tab of the Organisation Settings page, you can create a new group under your organisation.

In the window that appears, you can add the following details of the group you wish to set up:

• The group’s name (required information);
• A contact email address for the group;
• A contact phone number for the group;
• The group’s public website;
• A short description of the group, and its research and innovation capabilities (required information);
• A logo for the group (click Import photo and select. an appropriate photo from the files on your computer).

Once you have completed the details of the group you wish to set up, click Create to finish the process and create the group. To undo your changes and return to the Group Settings page, click Cancel.

By clicking Manage next to the name of the group, you can add further data to the group’s profile by editing its Group Settings page. On this page you can also add or invite colleagues to join the group, and assign the Leader and Administrator roles to users to allow them to manage the group.
