Account owners and user admins have access to Group management through their iQualify settings. With Group management, you can create user groups and then send those groups messages or create and download reports.

Here’s what you can do:

  • Create or edit groups: Build groups by uploading a CSV file or applying filters.

  • Refine and organise: Search by name or use filters to refine and organise your search results.

  • View and download data: Access and download your group’s data as a customisable report.

  • Send messages: Communicate with your group using the messaging function.

Note: User admins have access to User & group management, but not other areas of iQualify settings. User admins can assist with administrative tasks such as managing user accounts or creating groups and reports

How to access Group management

Select your Avatar in the top right, and choose iQualify settings. Then select User & group management from the left menu.

Note: User admins are taken directly to User & group management after selecting iQualify settings.

How to create a group

You can create a group by either using filters or uploading a CSV file.

  • Filter groups: Ideal for creating dynamic groups based on specific criteria. These groups will change as individuals start or stop meeting the criteria. With filter groups you can generate detailed and downloadable reports with insights into learner progress and other metrics.

  • CSV upload: Perfect for static groups where you know exactly who you want to include. Note that these groups offer limited reporting capabilities.

To get started with either method, head to Group management in User & group management and select Create group.

Name your group and select Create. Select Filter group or Upload CSV depending on the option you want to use.

  • Filter group: Set filters to target users who match the criteria you set.

  • Upload CSV: Upload a file of user email addresses to create a static group.

How to edit and delete groups

Editing group members

To edit the members of a CSV group, you'll need to upload a new file to replace the existing one. For filter groups, you can make changes by adjusting the filter criteria or by adding or removing filters.

Learn more: For detailed instructions on both methods, see our articles on Creating CSV groups and Creating filter groups.

How to search for groups

If you have multiple groups, use Search to find groups by name. Further refine and organise your list with the filter tools.

CSV upload groups are marked with a green icon, and filter groups with a blue icon.

Simply select a group from the list in Group management to view its details.

Tip: Use descriptive and memorable titles for your groups to make them easier to locate later. You can also edit the title of an existing group to make it more descriptive and relevant.

How to view group data and build reports

To view group information, select the group from the list in Group management, then scroll to the table to see the group members and their details.

To get the most current information, click the Refresh icon.

  • Access, start/end, and enrolment dates.

  • Offering details such as title or ID.

  • Learner progress details including progress percentage, badges and tasks.

Select the options you are interested in to build reports that meet your needs.
