Getting Started
How Do I Create Groups or Classes?
Learn how to create groups in ExamLive. Name a group, pick its members, and assign private tests to it so only they can take them.
Why use groups?
Groups let you limit who takes a test. Instead of sharing a link anyone can use, you assign a test to specific groups, and only their members can access it. For example:
- "Period 3" gets a different test than "Period 5"
- "Sales Team" takes a compliance test that "Engineering" doesn't
Creating a group
- Open Groups from the sidebar.
- Click New Group.
- Give it a name (for example, "Grade 10 - Biology").
- Use the member picker below the name field to add people. It searches your organization as you type, so you can add members without scrolling.
- Optionally check Notify to let everyone you added know they joined the group, delivered in-app, by email, and as a push notification.
- Click Create Group.
You can also create a group on the fly while assigning a test to a group.
Editing a group
Open the three-dot menu and choose Edit Group. Rename it, add or remove members, then click Save Changes.
Deleting a group
Open the three-dot menu on a group and choose Delete Group, or select several rows and delete them in one go. Deleting only removes the group itself. Members stay in your organization; they just leave that group.
Assigning a test to a group
In a test's settings, find the Sharing Mode option:
- Public: anyone with the link can take it.
- Private: only members of the groups you select can take it. You must pick at least one group.
From the Tests page you can also open a test's three-dot menu and choose Assign to Group to change this later. See Publish & Share a Test for how participants get access.
What if I don't use groups?
They're optional. Keep every test public and share links directly, and you never need to create a group.
