automatic templates

I have been searching the manuals and forum questions, and can't figure this out. I'm sure it's super simple! When I go into the seating plan for a new class, all the kids are spread out in one long horizontal line. Is there a way to manipulate them easily into nice, neat configurations, or do I need to do it manually? In the past I have always done it manually, but I want to press a button to group them into columns/rows/circles/ovals/groups of 4/groups of 3. I know there is a way to do this but I don't see it. Thanks in advance!

Yes, you can do it this way:



Best wishes!

Thank you! When I group into rows of 5 kids, I get a big space from left side to right on the view, so I can't see everybody. It's like a column of space in the middle. I want for example three rows of 5.

You should change the vertical/horizontal distances between groups and then zoom out to fit all your students on screen

By the way I went to this link but it wouldn't take me to where I could enter the review. Thanks!

I already tried that but still only end up with 2 rows of 5 and then a third row of 5 off to the side way out in the distance....

If you have a chance, attach a screenshot so that we can give it a look.
It is all about the horizontal and vertical distance

These are all great, but in Science we dont have standard layouts, could you add the ability to create our own templates to drop people in? Would save me ages!

Thanks

Yes, it is scheduled for our next update. It should be there in a couple of Betas
