Background:
This new feature in the Groups Worksheet replaces the use of "SharedAlt" groups that allowed two or more groups to share a rotation or set of rotations. When schools create a Rotation group and link it to the Groups that will share it, the results display as follows: |

Instructions for Placing Agencies: 1. In the Groups Worksheet, create the two or more groups that will share the Rotation set. |

2. Create the Rotation Group that the student groups will share (entering a group size sufficient for all planned rotations, in this case size = 2 for two single student observations). |
|
|
3. Send the groups to the Outbox, and Edit the Rotation Group
If needed, edit the Destination size and use the Split Destinations tool |
|
|
4. Link Groups in Outbox a. Select the student groups, and the Rotation group, then select "Mark Requests for Linking" from the Action dropdown. |

Other things to keep in mind when using Rotation Groups:
- Students are not assigned to Rotation Groups; students are assigned only to their "home" group (in the above example, to Groups A or B).
- Because students are not assigned to Rotation Groups, the Assignment dropdown in the GWS-Assignment screen does not include any of the Rotation Groups you created.
- In your Welcome Screen, only "home" groups will appear in the reminder for "XX Upcoming Placements with No Students Assigned."
