2. Infoodle will bring up the Add a new group form. Fill in the relevant group details. There are **custom fields** on this form. See the help pages on **Custom Fields** for more information.

4. Groups can be **Hibernated** or **Expired**. For more details about those settings see  [Hibernating and Expiring a Group](https://help.infoodle.com/help/groups/hibernating-or-expiring-group)
5. Groups can be set to **Admin Only**. For more information on this setting see [Locked/Admin Groups](/v1/docs/lockedadmin-groups). 
6. The information under **Filter Data** is used to search for groups in the **Advanced Search** and **Reports** sections. It is not necessary to add this information, but helpful when managing a large number of groups.
7. Click the **Save** button once you have added the details.

:::(Info) (Note)
Once a new group has been created infoodle makes it easy to organise the members into a roster. To learn how, see [Creating a Quick Roster](/v1/docs/creating-a-quick-roster).

Once you have created a group infoodle allows you to subdivide groups into smaller groups as well, called [Subgroups](https://help.infoodle.com/help/groups/subgroups).
