Portal Group Finder (Survey)
- The Portal's Find Group by Survey page shows MinistryPlatform Groups that are available for online display.
- On the Find Group by Survey page, you can search for Groups by Attribute (you have control over what Attributes are available to search by). Once a Group is clicked, the Group Detail and Group signup/inquiry process is the same as the Group Finder.
- The search looks at all selected Attributes and returns Groups that match any of the Attributes. (The percentage match shows how many of the selected Attributes match the Group listed.)
Initial Setup

Allowing Online Visibility
Follow the normal group setup process. Additionally, in each group, go to the Attributes tab and add the appropriate attributes to each group. This step ensures that the group displays in the search results when the applicable attributes are selected.
