Create Teachers of Student Groups
Select 'Yes' if you would like to create and manage 'teachers of student' groups.

Format
For all year groups that ActivMan needs to create you will need to specify the format of the name of the group. For built-in groups (years 1 - 14) you will need to specify the format of the name. By default this is "Year %d", where %d will be replaced with the year number. For any custom groups entered these will be used as-is.

Registration Groups
Create Registration Groups
Selecting this option will create an AD group for all registration groups that you import. So, for example, when you import students then a group will be created named the same as their registration group, and the student added to it.
NOTE: Only registration groups present in the extracted student's will be used.
