61 Sharing Documents and References (cont.) How to create a group Adding members and documents Using groups

62 Groups are a simple way for you to collaborate with your colleagues and share a collection of documents. Any member of a group may upload documents to it. In Mendeley Desktop, you can create a group by clicking on Create Group in the left column.

63 Once you have clicked Create Group, a dialog asking you to enter details of your group will appear.

64 Sharing Documents and References (cont.) Three types of groups: Private Groups – These are invite-only groups whose content will only be visible to members of the group. Public Invite-only Groups – These are groups which are visible to anyone, but only members can contribute to them. Public Open Groups – These are groups anyone may join and contribute to.

65 In this example, we will create a group named Dengue with group description - Dengue references and click Create Group.

66 Once you have created your group, you can add members and documents to it. To Invite Members to the group, go to the Members tab. You can either add people that are already Mendeley users by clicking on Find or you can invite people to join you on Mendeley by clicking on Invite. You can view the documents of a group by going to the Documents tab. To Add Documents, go to the group and click on Add documents in the top bar. Alternatively, you can simply drag and drop documents to the group (either from your Mendeley folders, or from anywhere else on your computer).

67 The Overview tab shows a summary of what has happened in your Group. You can see updates on who has joined, who said what, and which papers have been added by whom. You can also post status updates by entering your update into the box at the top of the overview section. This is the end of Module 5.2
