# Item Groups: Creating an Item Group
To create a new Item Group, in the Item Groups screen click the **+ New Item Group** button. Clicking this will bring you to the New Item Group page, where you will be asked to fill in the following information:
- **Display Name**: This is the name of the item group which will show to guests when viewing your menu(s).
- **Description**: This is a description of the item group which will show to guests when viewing your menu(s).
- **Schedule**: Setting a schedule for an item group will allow you to control what schedule(s) the item group is visible or not visible during (for more information on creating schedules, please refer to the **[Schedules](https://help-center.readytopay.com/ready-dashboard?hsLang=en#schedules)** documentation).
Once the fields are filled in, click **Create Group** to create the new group, or click **Cancel** to back out of the group creation. Upon creating your new item group, you will be directed to the item group details screen where you can begin adjusting additional settings for the group such as image assets and the items which are to be in the group. Refer to **[Item Groups: Editing an Item Group](https://help-center.readytopay.com/item-groups-editing-an-item-group?hsLang=en)** for information.
