How to Set Up Self-Definition

To use Self-Defining groups as requirements on your Election posts, MSL first has to configure the owning organisation of your Self-Defining groups. If you're unsure if you've already set up an owning organisation, contact support@ukmsl.com.

To Set Up Self-Definition:

• Create the owning organisation of your Self-Defining groups. For further information, see How to Set Up a Self-Defining Groups Owning Organisation
• Contact support@ukmsl.com, providing the ID of the owning organisation
• MSL adds the ID to your MSL System's settings, ready for you to create your Self-Defining groups
