Requirements

What Allocate students manually ensures

  • Capacity is enforced. You cannot allocate more students than the group capacity.
  • Selection is limited to students enrolled in the module.
  • If a student is already allocated to another group in the same activity, Allocate will safely swap the student to the target group.

How to allocate students manually

  • Open the group drawer for the target group.
  • Expand the Allocated students section.
  • Click Allocate students and select From enrolled.

  • Press close to return to the group drawer, where the newly allocated students appear in the Allocated students section.

Copy group

Use Copy group to replicate allocations from one group to another, even across different modules. Allocate filters to only eligible, enrolled students and preselects them for a one‑click confirmation.

Key benefits

  • Maintain consistent student groupings across activities and modules
  • Save time by bulk‑copying instead of selecting students one by one
  • Reduce errors with automatic filtering of eligible students

How to copy allocations from a source group

  • In the target group drawer, click Allocate students then choose Copy from other groups.

  • Review the preselected list. It contains enrolled students that are allocated to the selected source groups.
  • Optionally adjust the selection.
    ‍Note: Students not enrolled in the target module are excluded automatically.
