# Create a group

1. From the **Groups** page, click **Create Group**.

  - The screen is split into two main sections: a blue section titled **Available Employees** and “Your Group” **Employees**.

1. **Auto-set future new starters based on cost code**:
  - When cost code has been selected, upon clicking next, all employees allocated to that cost code will be added to your group.
  - Any new starters that are added to the payroll, if their cost code matches the “auto-set” value, they will automatically be added to the group.
2. Within **Available Employees**, check the box beside each user you want to add, then click **Assign**.
3. Click **Done**. Your new group will be displayed in a view similar to the [Payroll screen](/payroll/docs/viewing-a-payroll).
