Employer Groups

You can use the Employer Groups page to display a list of all your employer groups and configure those groups. Groups organize employers who have one or more characteristics in common. They may all be related to a particular field of study or may offer only part-time or intern/extern jobs.

You can:

• Add or remove employers to or from a group
• Schedule tasks for the members of the group

By default, the list displays:

• All active and inactive public groups
• Active private groups where the owner has given you access to view the group

The expiration date for an expired group is displayed in red. If you are authorized and there are multiple expired groups, a message is also displayed. You can use the link in the message to delete all the expired groups at once. (You cannot delete groups that have been associated with a Hold Code.) The list is sorted alphabetically by group name.

When you access a dynamic group that was created using a View, the page for the group displays the Views icon () along with the View used to create group in parentheses at the top of the page. You can select the link to go directly to the View.

For example, you can specify the frequency you want Anthology Student to refresh a dynamic group once you have created it using the View.
