• What a group is on Didask and why to create one.
• How to create a new group and assign publications to it.
• How to add or remove a learner from an existing group.


🧠 Understand the Value of Groups

A group is a learner cohort: a class, a department, a cohort, a business team. On Didask, grouping your learners lets you distribute the right publications to them without assigning access one by one.

From a learning perspective, this is what allows you to personalize training: each profile receives a tailored path with zero noise or irrelevant content.

📌 Example: differentiated onboarding. You create a New Sales Joiners group and a New Tech Joiners group. To the first, you assign the Sales Onboarding + Product Knowledge publication. To the second, Tech Onboarding + Code Security. Each learner finds their path as soon as they log in, with no manual intervention.

💡 A coach can also be linked to a group - they will have precise visibility over that cohort's progress and statistics.


➕ Create a New Group

  1. Go to the Groups tab of your user management page and click Create a group.

  2. Give your group a name.

  3. Select the training space to attach it to.

  4. Assign one or more publications to this group.

  5. Add one or more coaches to follow the cohort's progress (optional).

  6. Set an expiration date if you want access to be removed automatically after a given period.

  7. Add the relevant learners.

💡 The expiration date is optional. Useful for time-limited training (e.g. annual cohort, seasonal event).


👤 Add a Learner to an Existing Group

💡 A learner can be a member of multiple groups. They will then have access to the publications from each of them.

Option 1:

  1. Go to the Users space.

  2. Select the learner's account.

  3. Click Add groups.

  4. Select one or more groups from the list.

Option 2:

  1. Go to the Groups space.

  2. Select the relevant group.

  3. From the Learners section, click Add ✚

  4. Select one or more learners from the list.


🗣️ Add a coach to an existing group

💡 Only group coaches can be added to a group. Space coaches automatically have access to all groups within their space(s).

Option 1:

  1. Go to the Groups section.

  2. Select the relevant group.

  3. In the Coaches section, click Add ✚.

  4. Select one or more coaches from the list.

Option 2:

  1. Go to the Users section.

  2. Select the relevant coach's account.

  3. Click Add groups.

  4. Select one or more groups from the list.


👀 The Learner Experience

Once linked to a group, the learner finds all publications assigned to their groups in their Personal Space or Training Space (depending on the publication's distribution type), with no action required on their end.

Changes (adding a publication, removing a member, expiration date reached) are immediately reflected in the learner's access.


👀 From the coach's perspective

Once assigned to a group, the Group Coach can access all their groups from the Groups tab, and view the learners who belong to them from the Users section.

The Space Coach, on the other hand, has a full view of all groups and learners in their space.

From the Training tab, coaches can apply "admin filters" to display only the publications accessible to the groups they manage.


Keywords: group, cohort, learner class, create a group, assign publication to group, coach, expiration date, learner segmentation.
