question regarding help section and link for people to join
|
In the help section, is there a way to search for a topic by word or do you need to just look at the options listed?
Also, I can directly add people to my group but if I want to send an e-mail telling someone to join, what link would I use?? ?My group is called Peachheadnanny - what link do I send them?? Linda Perry |

It is sometimes tricky to figure out which one. But to your question: ?the help page explains how to do search: - View the manual as a single page . Then you can use the Find feature in your web browser to search the entire owners manual. - View a PDF version of the manual. Then you can use the Find feature in your PDF reader to search the entire file.
Tip: In most browsers and PDF readers, you can press Ctrl+F on Windows or Command+F on Mac to access the Find feature.
?I normally click on "single page" and use my browser Edit / Find (in Safari). About inviting people to join your group: Here's the Help page for using Invite. /helpcenter/ownersmanual/1/inviting-people-to-join-a-group?single=true Take the time to edit your Invite Notice (in Admin, Settings, Notices) and use your toolbar to highlight your own content to personalize it. Save it for future use and activate it. Note that you can't remove what is there (the boilerplate) which is required at least in some jurisdictions. But by spaces, formats, bolding and italics, colour, you can get a pretty good invitation. Then use Invite in your Admin menu.? Frances -- Help available from Groups.io help and GMF wiki. ? |

Follow up question for link to join group.? I know how to add members directly. I also understand that if they send an e-mail to the group similar to this:? ?[email protected]?(and replace groupManagersForum with the name of my group) they can join that way.?
But if I want to send a link for someone to join my group, what link would that be if my group is called PeachheadNanny?? In other words, if I send an e-mail saying:? To join PeachheadNanny you can send an e-mail to [email protected]?or you can go to this website and join the group there......what website would I use?? Would it be??/g/PeachheadNanny/topics?or another link?? My group is a premium enterprise group so when I click on home it goes to a page that I have created and I don't think I have the correct information there which is my issue.? this is my home page:???and people have said it is confusing on how to join my group so I am trying to simplify it as well as have a simple website address to send people to join this group as well as my subgroups.

Why not invite them using the Invite mechanism?
It works smoothly. You can track the request. Resend it if necessary. About inviting people to join your group:
Here's the Help page for using Invite.

The GMF wiki has information about it too: /g/GroupManagersForum/wiki/12630 Frances ?

Too much space and everything is double-spaced. The crucial info is below the fold - they have to scroll to down twice (with a track pad) to the email addresses, group information and group settings. I am a bit surprised with Group Settings for your group: ?
?All members can post to the group.
?Posts to this group do not require approval from the moderators.
?Posts from new users require approval from the moderators.
?Messages are set to reply to sender.
?Subscriptions to this group do not require approval from the moderators.
?Archive is visible to members only.
?Wiki is visible to members only.
?Only moderators can create hashtags.
?Members cannot edit their messages.
?Members can set their subscriptions to no email.
