Learn About Group Classes and Group Class Contributions

Group Classes

To set up up a group class, users go to a Group Class page and click New.Each group class must have a name and account. To configure processes that validate whether a group class is active, use the Effective Start Date and Effective End Date fields in each group class record.

Tip Edit the Group Class search layout to move the Account field below the Name field. This makes it easier to differentiate the associated group classes for an account when you add new members.

Note You can't provide a value for the Parent Group Class field while adding or updating a group class even though the field is available on the group class entity. This is to avoid circular relationship between group classes.
