Poppulo Groups allow communicators to increase engagement and organise their content by creating subscribable Groups that employees can opt-in and out of. By following Groups employees can personalise their feed to include the content they’re most interested in. Follow the steps below to learn how to:

• Create a Group
• Manage a Group
• Follow Groups in the Poppulo Mobile App

2. In the All Posts Overview, navigate to the Manage Groups tab on the left. 
   
   Then, select the Create Group button.  
   
   

3. Set the Group Name, and choose the Status of the Group - either Mandatory or Optional (leaving the box unchecked will list the Group as Optional automatically).
