How do I create groups for student fees?

Updated this week

The Groups feature allows admins to create and manage groups of students based on shared criteria, streamlining fee assignment at scale. Instead of assigning fees manually to individual students, admins can define dynamic student groups using filters such as school, grade, class, enrollment status, or other attributes, and apply fees directly to those groups.

Groups are dynamic and update automatically based on the selected criteria. Admins can also manually add or remove students when needed. All active fees assigned to a group automatically appear in each student’s profile, significantly reducing time spent on repetitive fee assignments.

  1. From the toolbar, go to Fee Management, then select Groups.

  2. Click the Create Group button.

  3. Enter Group Details by adding the Group Name and Group Description. Click Save & Continue.
