Edit group Check-in settings from within feature settings

This section walks through how to edit Check-in frequency settings for a group from within feature settings. This option is best if you want to edit how frequency certain sections of the Check-in (Pulse, Priorities, and Objective updates) appear on Check-ins for members of multiple groups, as you can apply changes in bulk.

1. Click on the 'Settings' gear in the top, right-hand corner of 15Five.
   
2. Select 'Features' from the dropdown menu.
   
3. Open the 'Check-ins' section.
   
4. Click the arrow next to "Customize frequency" to expand frequency options.
   
5. To set frequency for a specific group(s), check the circle next to "Limit to groups" and select all desired groups from the dropdown menu.
   
6. Select the desired frequency for the Pulse, Priorities, and Objectives Check-in sections. Possible frequencies are weekly, bi-weekly (i.e. fortnightly), and monthly.
   
7. Save your changes.
