Difference between SMS and Kindo Groups

Difference between SMS and Kindo Groups

Access: Payables Administrator

Within some SMS systems, you can create groups (SMS groups). These SMS groups are visible in Kindo. You can apply payables to Kamar / Edge Groups.

Please note - SMS groups are view only in Kindo: they cannot be edited in Kindo. You can only edit (add/remove students etc.) in the SMS system and not within Kindo.


Within Kindo, you can create Kindo Groups using 'Groups Editor'. 

            

These Kindo Groups are created, edited and managed in Kindo. You can; remove a student from a Kindo group and add a student from a Kindo group. You can then apply a payable to these groups in Payable Apply.
