Want to create a new group?

Groups can be used to lead discussions and share content relevant to a specific business area or a social network of colleagues. Groups are useful in the business to conversing with like-minded colleagues that operate within a specific business area such as a department, business process or region. Groups can be social as well, a gathering for a community of colleagues that partake in activities outside of work. Yammer can be used to connect with third parties from outside your business. With their Yammer accounts they can access external groups that you create. These external groups are great for sharing information with other businesses you work with, without them seeing content and updates from internal groups. To set up a new group, follow these steps:

• From SharePoint, click on Yammer from the suite bar and enter your password if required
• At the top right of the page near the search box, click on the (...) ellipses
• From the drop down, select Group
• At the top right of the page, click on Create New Group
• Choose Internal Group
• Under Group Name enter a name for the new group
• Under Group Members type in the names of colleagues who are to be invited to the group
• Choose whether the group is public or private
• Click on Create Group
