You can create custom communities in the admin console, allowing you to send messages or activity reminders to all of the residents in that community without having to select those residents by hand each time. For example, if you have a group of residents who always like to be reminded when a physical activity is about to start, you could set up a Fitness Buffs community and add those residents, and then set activity reminders to go to the Fitness Buffs community on your physical activities.

To create a custom community:
- Open your campus community.
