2. The Create a new group window will appear
3. Enter the following information:
   
   
   1. Name of your group - will be seen by all participants in your group.
   2. Select either to schedule a group to begin at a point in the future, or set the group to be started manually at anytime. You can still manually activate a scheduled group at anytime.

   3. Select a group duration. A 25 minute contingency buffer added after the scheduled completion. The moderator will be notified 10 minutes before the actual scheduled completion time and the 25 minute contingency will begin at the end of the actual completion time.
   4. Select a plan - this is optional at this stage and can be set later if a plan has not yet been created.
   5. Group Description - used to prompt you about the purpose and context of your research group.
   6. Select the button - Create Group - to save the group details.
