# Generate Order of Play for Groups

Similar to group creation, there are both automated and manual options for creating matches within the group. Manually creating matches involves clicking on the match box inside the group and entering match details, including date, time, and court. Matches can also be added from the advanced order of play view by dragging and dropping matches or by clicking on a time slot and selecting the group and match.

Automated order of play generation can save a significant amount of time, especially for larger events.
{% endhint %}

It is possible to generate matches for a single group or for all groups (across multiple categories) at once. To generate matches for a single group, navigate to the relevant group and click 'Generate OOP for this group only.' To generate matches for multiple groups at once, navigate to the top right corner and click 'Generate OOP.'

During the configuration, you can specify which categories, groups, and rounds you want to generate matches for, as well as select specific rounds (if applicable) and estimate the match duration. Matches will then be generated based on these settings.

{% hint style="info" %}
If the number of selected courts is the same as the number of selected groups, the platform will offer an option to assign each group to a specific court. To activate this feature, enable the 'Limit one group per court' checkbox.
{% endhint %}
