 Pro tips:
-A. When looking for a mod and not finding results, try searching for the username (the information before the @) of the email address and see if it pulls up the same email with a different provider. Many people use the same username with different providers.

		+	<font color=red>12 , 13 & 14</font> are explained above.
		+
		+	<font color=red>#22</font>This is the Group Admin Url. Each group entry has a unique URL. You can copy and paste these into correspondence so everyone works with the same group. Since many groups have similar names, there is not confusion when using the URL.
		+
		+	<font color=red>#23</font> Click on and the link will take you directly to the group page in a new tab. Fc in front of it means that it is onsite. If Y! Is in front of it, it is located on Yahoo groups.
		+
		+	<font color=red>#24</font> Group Name (Location): This is the general location of the group and corresponds to #2 on the opening page. This is generally a city name and searchable onsite. This entry is also the display name listed on the Browse Groups page https://www.freecycle.org/browse/US
		+
		+	<font color=red>#25</font> Region/Country: This is set up when the group is created. It includes both the state/ region and country. Only a few people have access to update this (#24a.) Ask your Coordinator if you find an entry that is incorrect and needs to be changed.
		+
		+	<font color=red>#26</font> Unique Name: Again Fc infront means it is onsite and Y! Means it is on Yahoo. This is the URL to the group.
		+
		+	<font color=red>#27</font>. Email My Freecycle Mods: This will open a mail window. The email address is the old one, so if you are going to use this please change it to mod.freecycle.org
		+
		+	<font color=red>#28</font> Cafe URL: This is a manual entry for Cafe groups and does not link anywhere. It is for internal use and can be updated by the GOAs.
		+
		+	<font color=red>#29</font> My Freecycle Member Count: Autofill from the site contains number of Members on the Freecycle.org group only. Yahoo groups will always be blank (or with the last known numbers if delisted)
		+
		+	<font color=red>#30</font> Percentage of Members Modded: for GOA use. Please see GOA manual for more information.
		+
		+	<font color=red>#31</font> Group Membership setting: This is also autofilled from the site depending on how the mods have set up the group.
		+
		+	<font color=red>#32</font> Group Moderation Setting: This shows when group is under Full Emergency Moderation. Refer to GOA manual for how to approach this or report to GOA if you come across a group with this setting. [[Moderator_Manual:Mod_dos#Don.27t_fully_moderate_your_group\|No Full Moderation]]
		+
		+	<font color=red>#33</font> Status: Drop down menu with color coded status bar. Privilege is not available to all team members, please see your coordinator to change.

		+	<font color=red>#34</font>Add Note: all GA notes are entered in this area.Please use your Group Admin privileges for work related to your position. Please do not use it to make notes on your own group without permission from GOA or HUB Coordinators or Deron. NGAs can find their notes here https://wiki.freecycle.org/NGAManual:Group_admin_notes GOAs can find their notes here https://wiki.freecycle.org/GOAManual:Database

		+	<font color=red>#35</font>Public Note: Not everyone has access to GA notes section. Click on this for everyone with access to be able to read note. (rarely used)
		+
		+	<font color=red>#36</font>History: Every note saved in GA is here, scroll down to read the notes for the history of the group. Or to search for something specific, an email address or user ID, Click Control +F, F3 (or Command ⌘on a Mac) while on the page only.

		+	* <font color=red>b.</font>The person who made the note and the date & time stamp that the note was saved.

		+
		+	<font color=red>#40</font>Yahoo!Groups Moderators: This is a manual fill area. Group Admin has never been synced with Yahoo!Groups because they are a separate company, so any information we have in this area has been supplied by mods to team members who have entered it. This information is only as accurate as the last date it was entered and the person who entered it. There could be spelling errors as well as typos. Please do not delete information found here unless you have current information via a screen shot to update it. It is still useful to have in a searchable format in case someone who was asked to step down returns or for other historical uses.

		+	<font color=red>#41</font>“+” and “-” Boxes. Click on “+” to add a Mod or Lead Mod. You will be taken to another screen to complete this. Click on “-” to remove a Mod or Lead Mod entry.

 Yahoo email addresses, IDs and Names have been manually added into the system over the years and are only as accurate as the people who entered them. Freecycle.org emails and IDs are auto added to Group Admin when they are promoted to Mod or Lead Mod on site or via GA group entry.

 <font color=red>#15</font>  Moderator Name: This searches the Name Field and and returns results of either a Name or an ID from both Freecycle.org and Yahoo!Groups. It will pull up truncated searches of both without adding a wildcard and includes other results that have a portion of the name entered. For Yahoo groups, when a person's name is entered into the system, it will yield full or partial results if the person's name but only if  has been entered into the system. For Freecycle.org groups it will pull up all entries on the system. It will pull up multiple entries and all email addresses <font color=red> #21</font> associated with the ID and/or name.
