Network & Individual Group Settings
This article outlines how to modify both network and individual group settings. While Super Admins can modify the network settings and all individual group settings, Group Admins can only modify the group settings for groups for which they are an admin. Group Admins can jump to the second half of this article to learn how. 👍
To modify network settings (for Super Admins only):
1. Click the gray Cog Wheel icon in the bottom left-hand corner of your dashboard.
2. Select Network Settings.
You can also find the network settings by going to the Everyone group, since changes to the Everyone group affect everyone on the network.
- Click the Group Communication tab in the Dashboard, then click the Everyone tab.
4. Click the gray Cog Wheel icon on the right-hand side of the Everyone Group, then select Group Settings.
- Network Name – This is the name that will appear when members sign up for your network. This will also be the "From" address when you send emails to the "Everyone" group. You can change it at any time by simply typing in the white box.
- Network URL – This is the unique web address that you can direct your members to visit to join your network. We recommend setting it to what you prefer once and then leaving it the same so that members can easily find and bookmark this link. Notice that you can type in the white box, and it will preview the full link below it.
- Require text code authentication before sending to the Everyone group – With this box checked, anytime a Super Admin attempts to send an email or text message to your network's Everyone group, they will first need to enter in a code that is texted to them as an added security measure. This helps ensure that this list is communicated intentionally and never accidentally.
- Website – Add or update your official church or ministry website at any time. This will appear at the bottom of any notes that your network sends.
- Address – Add or update your church address at any time. This will also appear at the bottom of any notes that your network sends.
To modify individual group settings (for Super Admins and Group Admins):
- Click the Group Communication tab in the Dashboard, then select All
2. Click the gray Cog Wheel icon in the top right-hand corner.
3. Select Group Settings from the dropdown.
4. A pop-up will slide in from the right, allowing you to edit the following:
- Group Name – This is the name that will appear on the list of groups (the left-hand sidebar when you log into Flocknote) and also in the list of groups when members sign up for your network. This will also be the "From" address when you send emails to this particular group. You can change it at any time by simply typing in the white box.
- Group URL – If you want to get members automatically added to this particular group (in addition to the "Everyone" group), you can share this link. We will auto-fill this for you (usually a shortened version of the full name of the group), but you can change it at any time. For example, the full URL for this group is holycrossaustin.flocknote.com/volunteers.
- Description – Let your members know who this group is for or what types of messages they can expect from this group. Please note that this is visible to all members and admins. We recommend keeping it short and sweet! :)
- Group Type – Choose whether you want to keep your group open (anyone can join), closed (requiring approval by a Group Admin or Super Admin), or hidden (only current members and Admins see). Learn more about group types with the articles at the bottom of the page.
