    Small Groups Overview

    The Small Group tools allows you to publish a searchable list of groups, studies, or classes on your site. Visitors can search your groups by category (men's, women's, parenting, expository Bible study, etc.), day of the week, or other descriptors.

    Depending on how you want to set up the groups page, you can also allow for online signups. The tool also provides for an email alert to be sent to the group leader along with an overall groups administrator so that you can manage your signups.

    There are a few steps required in setting up the small groups search for your website. Please click on the links below for more information:

    Step 1: Setting up your pages. There are four different pages that make up the small group search process: 
    1. Search
    2. Search Results
    3. Register
    4. Thank you
    Each if these pages use a tag in the page editor area to display dynamic content and search results. Once these are setup, each page will need to be selected in their respective dropdown under events & store > small groups > and select the group where you have setup your small group pages.

    Step 2: Setting up your categories. The search tool utilizes a category feature for the searchable dropdown options on the initial search page. 

    Step 3: Setting up your email alerts. When a visitor registers to receive more info about a group, the website Administrator, the group leader, and the individual will receive an email alert. You will need to specify the content for each of those email notifications.

    Step 4: Setting up your small groups. The final step is to create your groups and associate them with your categories (ie: day, type, etc). This is done under events & store > small groups > and select the group where you have setup your small group pages.

    Once these steps are complete, you can then make the primary Search page accessible on your website.
