**Placing Agency Related Guide (PARG)
Summary:**
Rotation Groups are a special type of Group, created in the Groups Worksheet. Rotation Groups allow two or more student groups to share access to a rotation or set of rotations.
| 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:
|
|
| **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 1. 1. Select the student groups, and the Rotation group, then select "Mark Requests for Linking" from the Action dropdown. |
|
| b. Review the groups in the Linking Tray, and click the Link Requests button. |
|
| c. When the screen refreshes, you will see the following successful result: |
|
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."
