To create a new group of contacts, click the "Create Group" button on the right-hand area of the page. You will then be prompted to enter a name for this group of users.

Click the "Create Group" button once you have entered the desired group name:

To add contacts into that group, simply click the contact group and you will then enter its configuration page:
Click the "Add Contacts" button to then begin adding contacts to this group. You will see a page that allows contacts to be added one-by-one, to add existing contacts, import contacts from an external source or from your ekmPowershop should you have an account:

Add Existing Contacts
Clicking the "existing" button will take you to a page that displays contacts who have been added to other contact groups, meaning you can assign those users to this group also.
