Groups in Yura are filter-based. Create groups for homerooms, grade levels, NHS chapters, or service learning courses — students are added automatically when they match the filter.
Common school groups
- Class of 2027 — filter by graduation year (custom profile field).
- NHS Chapter — filter by a custom Select field: 'NHS Status = Member'.
- Mr. Johnson's Advisory — filter by a custom field or manually managed list.
- Service Learning 101 — filter by course enrollment field.
- Students below 50 hours — filter by verified hours < 50 (useful for counselors tracking graduation requirements).
Pro tip: Track graduation requirements
Create a group for students below the required hour threshold (e.g., 'Under 75 hours'). Check it monthly so counselors can intervene early with students who are behind.
Pro tip: Use groups for dashboard scoping
Teachers can filter the dashboard by their assigned group to see only their students' hours, without scrolling through the entire school.
